Fiddled out of Reason
Addison and the Rise of Hymnic Verse, 1687–1712
2019

Fiddled out of Reason is a study of several poems spanning the life and career of Joseph Addison, who, along with John Dryden, Alexander Pope, Ambrose Philips, Isaac Watts, and many British poets of the turn of the eighteenth century, helped to cultivate a broad new current of nonliturgical "hymnic" verse that became immensely popular across that century, though it has eluded critical notice until now. The texts the book examines—Addison's St. Cecilia's Day odes (1692, 1699), his libretto ...

Teaching Literature in High School
Principles into Purposeful Practice
2021
EN
In looking for an approach to teaching literature in high school, teachers largely fall back on the methods that they had experienced as students.
