Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Progress of Classical Learning During the Present Century: A Lecture Delivered as an Installation-Address in the Convocation Hall of Queen's University, Kingston, on Oct, 16, 1867, Being University Day Having been elected to the chair of Classical Literature in this Institution, I desire to acknowledge my sense of the honour thus conferred upon me - an honour, heightened by the circumstance that this University, to whose Professorial staff I have been appointed, is my Alma Mater. This circumstance, while it yields honour, entails responsibility. May it be my suc cessful attainment, as it shall ever be my strenuous endeavour, to advance the useful ness and increase the fame of this seat of learning, to which I owe so much - to fill with lustre to the College and profit to her Students the Department entrusted to me, which has been so ably presided over since the foundation of the College! Custom requires that I should deliver an Inaugural Address. The subject which I liave'chosen, as appropriate to the occasion, is the Pro gress of Classical Learning during the pre sent Century. This progress has been varied, widely extended, steadily maintained. There un fortunately prevails an opinion which claims numerous adherents, that Classical learning is a stereotyped study. Such per sons imagine that, because Greek and Latin are dead languages, our fathers knew about taem as much as we can possibly know - that no additional light can be thrown upon their origin, structure, his tory, and connections - that 'their deepest mysteries have already been explored and their darkest recesses have been fully dis closed - that the subjects which engaged the attention of a class in this Department at the close of last centuryremain still the same, without addition 'to their number.

Download or read book Pope, Homer, and Manliness written by Carolyn D. Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author here reassesses the concept of ‘masculinity’, and argues that it cannot be seen as an absolute standard, but only as the product of perpetual conflict between competing and unstable models. The argument is sustained by a close reading of the problematic conflict between gendered values in eighteenth-century classical learning. Pope’s Homer ensured the continuation of the tradition of using the Iliad and Odyssey to teach privileged boys how to become more ‘manly’. This book examines this pedagogy in its socio-literary context, and concludes that Pope’s Homer emerges as a relic of the struggle to preserve masculine dignity from the encroachments of feminine values in the text. This knowledge of classical and early modern literature has rarely been brought to bear on gender studies. First published in 1993, it remains a valuable contribution to debates concerning the reception of the Classical tradition.

This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1959, this book examines the history of classical education in Britain, beginning in the sixteenth century with the rise of humanism, which emphasized the importance of reading only the best Latin authors and re-introduced Roman structures of education in the form of grammar schools. Clarke also uses Scotland to compare and contrast with the educational history of England, particularly the ways in which the teaching of classics changed and developed over time. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of education in general, and the history of classical education in particular.

Download or read book Ancient Greek I written by Philip S. Peek and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this elementary textbook, Philip S. Peek draws on his twenty-five years of teaching experience to present the ancient Greek language in an imaginative and accessible way that promotes creativity, deep learning, and diversity. The course is built on three pillars: memory, analysis, and logic. Readers memorize the top 250 most frequently occurring ancient Greek words, the essential word endings, the eight parts of speech, and the grammatical concepts they will most frequently encounter when reading authentic ancient texts. Analysis and logic exercises enable the translation and parsing of genuine ancient Greek sentences, with compelling reading selections in English and in Greek offering starting points for contemplation, debate, and reflection. A series of embedded Learning Tips help teachers and students to think in practical and imaginative ways about how they learn. This combination of memory-based learning and concept- and skill-based learning gradually builds the confidence of the reader, teaching them how to learn by guiding them from a familiarity with the basics to proficiency in reading this beautiful language. Ancient Greek I: A 21st-Century Approach is written for high-school and university students, but is an instructive and rewarding text for anyone who wishes to learn ancient Greek.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a masterful study Carl Richard explores how the Greek and Roman classics became enshrined in American antebellum culture. For the first time, knowledge of the classics extended beyond aristocratic males to the middle class, women, African Americans, and frontier settlers. The Civil War led to a radical alteration of the educational system in a way that steadily eroded the preeminence of the classics.

Download or read book Classical Humanism and the Challenge of Modernity written by Bas van Bommel and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In scholarship, classical (Renaissance) humanism is usually strictly distinguished from 'neo-humanism', which, especially in Germany, flourished at the beginning of the 19th century. While most classical humanists focused on the practical imitation of Latin stylistic models, 'neohumanism' is commonly believed to have been mainly inspired by typically modern values, such as authenticity and historicity. Bas van Bommel shows that whereas 'neohumanism' was mainly adhered to at the German universities, at the Gymnasien a much more traditional educational ideal prevailed, which is best described as 'classical humanism.' This ideal involved the prioritisation of the Romans above the Greeks, as well as the belief that imitation of Roman and Greek models brings about man's aesthetic and moral elevation. Van Bommel makes clear that 19th century classical humanism dynamically related to modern society. On the one hand, classical humanists explained the value of classical education in typically modern terms. On the other hand, competitors of the classical Gymnasium laid claim to values that were ultimately derived from classical humanism. 19th century classical humanism should therefore not be seen as a dried-out remnant of a dying past, but as the continuation of a living tradition.
