Opis

Excerpt from Notes on the High School Reader: Third Class Literature for 1886-7 The Notes herewith presented are the prelude and harbingers to a complete annotation of the High School Reader; and they are issued in this separate form at the request of many of the teachers in our Public Schools, High Schools, and Collegiate Institutes, in order that their pupils might have in their hands, at as early a date as possible, the portion of the complete work bearing directly on the subjects prescribed for the next ensuing Examination of Candidates for Teacher's Certificates. As to the general plan followed in these notes, it may be stated briefly: (1) An effort has been made to present such Biographical Sketches, at least of the more important authors, as would inspire the student with a living interest in the subject of the sketch. Nothing is related of any author except such incidents as seemed to bear directly either on the formation of his character, or of his style; and wherever it seemed advisable to guide the student to a fair estimate of his author, such clues have been thrown out as appeared most likely to answer the purpose. (2) The well-read teacher will no doubt detect many points in which the critical estimate here given differs, and in some cases widely, from the average estimate of the professional critics - e.g. as to the literary value of the laureate odes of Tennyson - but if these divergences from the too well beaten path serve no other purpose, they may at least help the pupils to understand that the chains of mere authority may be too galling, and that in literary criticism, as in all other branches of human learning, the grand desideratum is that each should learn to think for himself, and be able to give a reason for the faith that in him.
