Overview

Excerpt from Intensive Studies in American Literature Every teacher of literature knows how often students come unprepared to the class with the excuse, I didn't know how to go at the lesson. They have in their hands some edition of a masterpiece, carefully annotated to explain words and allusions, but failing to suggest any plan of study. If the teacher has no time or opportunity to formulate such a plan, the students probably gain only detached and frag mentary notions of the classic, and no conception at all of its purpose and value. The studies in this volume are in tended to show the pupils one way to go at their work, by outlining plans for the study of some of the masterpieces most profitable for class work and most often used in the high school class in American literature. The studies are the product of class-room experience, and have been found practically useful as a means of inspiring in not a few young persons an intelligent appreciation of good literature. It may not be amiss to state here a few of the aims the volume attempts to achieve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
