Project Gutenberg 2004-01-01 Public domain in the USA. 294 Emerson, Charles Wesley 1837 1908 Emerson, C. Wesley (Charles Wesley) Evolution of Expression — Volume 1 Produced by Robert Rowe, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Evolution of Expression — Volume 1" by Charles Wesley Emerson is a pedagogical work composed during the late 19th century. This volume is part of a larger compilation that explores the developmental stages of oratory by analyzing selected literary texts and performances. It aims to guide educators and students through the natural evolution of expressive abilities, providing theoretical insights and practical exercises to foster effective communication techniques. The opening portion of the text comprises an introduction to the book's educational philosophy, emphasizing the importance of understanding the psychological laws governing the growth of expression. Emerson likens the orator's development to that of other artistic fields, asserting that mastery requires progression through various stages: from basic animation to smoothness, volume, and finally, refined articulation. Following this theoretical groundwork, the initial chapters present literary selections meant to exemplify these stages, focusing on encouraging students to engage deeply with the texts while cultivating their own expressive skills. Through examples and analysis, Emerson sets the stage for a systematic approach to oratory education. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 72.3 (7th grade).
