Literature And Its Professors (1867)

""Literature and Its Professors"" is a book written by Thomas Purnell and published in 1867. The book is a critical analysis of the state of literature and the role of professors in shaping literary education in the mid-19th century. Purnell argues that literature is an art form that should be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities, rather than just as a tool for moral instruction. He also criticizes the narrow-mindedness of many literary professors who only focus on a limited canon of works and fail to appreciate the diversity of literary styles and genres. Purnell advocates for a more open-minded approach to literary education that encourages students to explore a wide range of literary works and develop their own critical thinking skills. Overall, ""Literature and Its Professors"" is a thought-provoking work that challenges conventional ideas about the role of literature and the responsibilities of literary educators.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
