"Recitations for the Social Circle" by James Clarence Harvey is a collection of selected and original recitations published in the late 19th century. This work serves as a resource for individuals looking to enhance their public speaking or theatrical performances through a variety of recitable texts, including poetry, prose, and speeches that may resonate with audiences in social settings. Covering a diverse array of topics, the collection is likely to appeal to those interested in the art of rhetoric, storytelling, and performance. The opening of the collection begins with an introductory note that emphasizes the importance of self-possession, careful selection of material, and the nuances of delivery in recitation. Harvey provides guidelines on the effective presentation of recitations while cautioning against over-enthusiasm and inappropriate gestures. The text also includes a preview of various pieces featured in the collection, highlighting both original works and contributions from well-known authors. The beginning sets the stage for a guide that is not only informative but aimed at inspiring readers to engage with the spoken word in a thoughtful and impactful manner.
