The Ethical Element In Literature: Being An Attempt To Promote A Method Of Teaching Literature (1891)

The book ""The Ethical Element In Literature: Being An Attempt To Promote A Method Of Teaching Literature"" was written by Richard D. Jones and was published in 1891. The book is an attempt to promote a method of teaching literature that focuses on the ethical element in literary works. Jones argues that literature can be used as a tool for teaching moral values and ethical principles to students. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the ethical element in literature. The first chapter discusses the importance of teaching literature with an ethical focus, while the second chapter explores the relationship between literature and morality. The following chapters examine the ethical themes in various genres of literature, including drama, poetry, and the novel. Jones provides examples from classic works of literature to illustrate his points, such as Shakespeare's ""Hamlet"" and Milton's ""Paradise Lost."" In addition to discussing the ethical element in literature, the book also provides practical advice on how to teach literature with an ethical focus. Jones suggests that teachers should encourage students to analyze literary works from an ethical perspective and to discuss the moral implications of the stories they read. Overall, ""The Ethical Element In Literature"" is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional methods of teaching literature and encourages educators to consider the ethical dimension of literary works. It remains a relevant and valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and ethics.Illustrated By An Interpretation Of The In Memoriam, And By Comments On The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar, Including The Text Of Julius Caesar, With Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
