Présentation de l'éditeur
The aim of the present volume is to place before students of elocution and dramatic readers, in a handy and practical form, a brief but suggestive exposition of the art of delivery, and a series of selections of a varied and attractive kind. The book is divided into four parts. The first division is devoted to a short account of the general principles of elocution; the second consists of practical hints with illustrative examples; the third treats of the theory of gesture; while the last contains a graduated set of pieces for reading and recitation. The writer does not claim to reveal anything new as to the working or application of the general laws regulating correct and graceful delivery. He has only gathered together some of the most useful and important of these laws and set them down in a succinct and, it is hoped, clear form. In doing this, however, he has been animated by a desire to stimulate the student to thoughtful and patient application, and to stir in him a spirit of enthusiasm for the subject of his study. There are so many Selections of Eeadings in the market that it is with some diffidence that the present volume is offered to the public. At the same time the excuse for its appearance (if, as may be thought, such an excuse is needed) may be found in the fact that it contains many selections that have never been included in any similar book. It is true that a number of old standard favourites has been retained. This is due to the desire on the part of the compiler to include, for the use of teachers, certain literary productions lending themselves specially as texts for teaching purposes. The bulk of the matter is fresh. A number of original adaptations from good authors, and many valuable copyright items have been inserted.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to the art of delivering words with precision, clarity, and impact. It considers elocution's evolution within the classical world, its importance in shaping rhetoric, and the enduring significance of correct and effective speech. Beyond the historical context, the author stresses elocution's enduring value in contemporary oratory and public speaking, with particular focus on the delivery of literary text. The author emphasizes the importance of mastering vocal production for effective delivery. The book provides exercises and guidance to help the reader cultivate the skills of distinctness, projection, and emotional expression through modulation, vocal inflection, and precise articulation. The author suggests that, far from being a purely technical exercise, elocution is also an engaging intellectual pursuit that enhances our understanding of the text and our ability to present it with natural, yet powerful impact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
