[PREFACE]"This book is both an approach to the study of literature as an art form and an application of the aesthetic discipline to the oral reading of literature. It is based on the premise that literature, like music, needs the artist to interpret as well as the artist to create, if it is to fulfill its function as a fine art[.](...)To this end, it first endeavors to formulate the aesthetic discipline in simple terms which point out that artists in all fields conform to the same set of essential principles in the attainment of their objective, the imparting of heightened feeling. (...) Next follow a series of chapters in which the attainment in selected specimens of literary art of the several common artistic ends is pointed out. Finally, the way in which the interpretative artist is affected by his discovery and awareness of the aesthetic qualities in the literature he is interpreting is described in a suggestive way, care being taken to guard against giving the impression that his reproduction of these qualities shall be mechanical or superimposed." #instabooks #Aesthetics #Scarce #Books #readersofinstagram #BooksBooksBooks #Antiquarian #Reading #Bookworm #instaread #booksforsale #Literature #Vintage #Bookstagram #LiteratureAesthetics #Rare #CoverArt #bookcollecting #CuttleboneBooks #LiteraryCriticism #booksale #FineArt #collectiblebooks #instaread #booksforsale #CorneliusCarmanCunningham
