Sinopsis
Excerpt from Select Essays of Addison: Together With Macaulay's Essay on Addison's Life and Writings
Having found the presence of a mass of explanatory notes an Obstacle to my endeavor to interest my pupils in their English reading, I have essayed to suggest a better method of procedure by preparing texts in such a manner as rather to call for research than to make research needless by giving its results. A note that tells at once what is wanted forestalls the teacher. I would co-operate with the teacher by aiding him to set the pupils at work. Accordingly I have Offered no notes whatever on passages easily explained by reference to dictionaries and encyclopedias, except perchance to give a warning that such research Should not be omitted. Only when I have found the way of research a little dark or crooked have I hinted at the path to be pursued. The notes in this volume, therefore, are distinctly meant to send the learner away from the little books in his little desk to the larger and more abundant books of the school library, and to the public and other libraries to which he may have access. I have myself found it a joy to conquer these small difficulties: this joy I would share with my pupils.

Excerpt from Select Essays of Addison: Together With Macaulay's Essay on Addison's Life and Writings
At the present moment the teaching of literature may be said to have developed to the point when question and answer, problem and solution, obscurity and elucida tion, are simultaneously thrust upon the learner's atten tion, in order that he may for not one conscious moment entertain the feeling of curiosity and interest, that he may be saved all need of exploration, that he may be excused from independent thinking and have merely to bend over his book and learn his lesson. Such is the note stage thus far reached in the evolution of literature teaching.
In order that our condition may not become one of arrested development, teachers must accept cordially and without misgiving the idea that the making of notes is precisely the business of the student himself, and that he cannot be denied this exercise without suffering ir reparable loss. Youthful curiosity at length becomes atrophied if left unemployed. The work of research that the maker of notes has to undertake is too pleasant and stimulating to be withheld from the learner. For the teacher to explain everything in advance, or to allow notes to explain it in advance, and then to expect of the class only to say back what has just been said to them, is to reduce teaching to the lowest depths of imbecility.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulously researched collection of essays by the revered English writer Joseph Addison. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of early 18th century England. Addison, a master of satire and wit, explores a wide range of topics, from the frivolous pursuits of fashionable society to the profound questions of morality and religion. He skewers fads, criticizes societal shortcomings, and celebrates virtues with a keen eye for detail and a gentle touch that reveals a deep understanding of human nature. Through Addison's essays, readers will encounter the vibrant tapestry of English life during a period of great intellectual and social change. This book not only entertains but also provides a valuable historical and literary context for understanding the development of English literature and society. Addison's insights into the human condition remain as relevant today as they were three centuries ago, making this book a timeless and thought-provoking read.
