English Composition And Rhetoric Emotional Qualities Of Style PDF Download

Excerpt from English Composition and Rhetoric, Vol. 2: Emotional Qualities of Style First is taken the classification OF the emo tions common to Poetry with the other Fine Arts. Seeing that the capability of discerning shades and varieties of emotion is not an early acquirement, the inference may justly be drawn, that their rhetorical handling is not suited to very young pupils. The dis qualification is equally applicable to the most ordinary literary criticism, which assumes that all these emotions are, in kind and degree, familiarly conceived by those ad dressed. Possibly more might be done at school towards preparing pupils for this kind of study, by storing their memories with passages deliberately chosen to exemplify various kinds of poetic effect. Such passages might answer the purpose of instilling unconsciously the Sigmi fication of emotional terms. Still, whatever he the experience that the pupils bring with them, there is an obvious advantage in distributing it under the heads of a classification adapted to the necessities of the subject.
