(Arthur Thomas) Quiller-Couch, Arthur Thomas On The Art of Reading Introductory -- Apprehension versus comprehension -- Children's reading -- On reading for examinations -- On a school of English -- The value of Greek and Latin in English literature -- On reading the Bible -- On selection -- On the use of masterpieces. Produced by James Tenison "On The Art of Reading" by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch is a series of twelve lectures written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the concept of reading, particularly in the context of English literature, and explores how to effectively engage with texts. The author combines personal reflections, educational perspectives, and a contemplative approach to the value of literature in developing the human spirit. The opening of the work sets the stage for a deep dive into the art of reading, contrasting it with the art of writing, which Quiller-Couch previously addressed. He begins by posing questions regarding the nature of reading and its importance in education, emphasizing that true understanding of literature transcends rote memorization and exam preparation. The author reflects on the challenges faced in the academic context of Cambridge, highlighting issues in how English literature is taught and studied, and asserts that the key to mastering reading lies in nurturing one's innate curiosity and appreciation for literature. As he establishes his premises, he aims to guide readers toward a richer engagement with literature that fosters both intellect and emotional growth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
