English; Composition And Literature

By W.F. Webster and William Franklin Webster

Book Overview

A quiet revolution in how we read and teach nineteenth century prose has landed again. This is not merely a book; it is a compass for navigating Victorian England's language, ideas, and sensibilities. W. F. Webster's English; Composition And Literature offers a clear, practical path through literary criticism, english composition manual disciplines, and the craft of rhetoric and prose instruction. It surveys style and rhetoric analysis with an eye to classroom language pedagogy, presenting composition techniques that illuminate both the writer's art and the reader's experience. Though rooted in its era, the guidance remains a sturdy student study guide and teacher resource collection for anyone seeking to understand how classic prose works, why it endures, and how to teach it with clarity and passion. Historically significant as a window into nineteenth century literature and Victorian England context, the work connects timeless ideas to modern classroom practice. It speaks to casual readers curious about literary craft and to classic-literature collectors who value precise historical voice and period accuracy. The book's enduring appeal lies in its practical utility, its careful analysis of style, and its invitation to engage deeply with language. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, and an essential aid to english teachers everywhere.
