This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the teaching of literature in grammar schools at the turn of the 20th century. The author, a supervisor of literature teaching, argues that the traditional methods of teaching literature - focusing on biographical details, language analysis, and moral lessons - fail to cultivate a genuine love for reading in students. Instead, these methods create a sense of drudgery and alienation from the very texts they are meant to inspire. The book delves into the historical roots of these ineffective methods, highlighting the influence of classical Latin studies, the obsession with scholarship for its own sake, and the role of textbook publishers in perpetuating outdated practices. The author provides a compelling critique of these forces, arguing that they have resulted in a disconnect between the true purpose of literature teaching - to instill a passion for reading and cultivate an appreciation for the emotional and intellectual power of great stories - and the actual experiences of students in the classroom. Ultimately, the book offers a powerful call to action, urging teachers to embrace a more intuitive and engaging approach to literature teaching. The author advocates for storytelling as a primary method, emphasizing the importance of connecting with students on an emotional level and making the world of literature come alive for them. By moving away from dry analysis and focusing on the heart of the story, teachers can foster a genuine love for literature in their students, allowing them to experience the transformative power of great writing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
