Book Description
Excerpt from Ann Radcliffe in Relation to Her Time The author's sense of the romantic and picturesque is not so delicate, or his execution so powerful, as Mrs. Radcliffe's, but his paintings of men and manners are more valuable. The inci dents are not so dexterously contrived, and the author has not produced a very interesting personage in his hero, Waverley, who, as his name was probably intended to indicate, is ever hesitating between two kings and two mistresses. Scott, in his own judgment of Mrs. Radcliffe, is both generous and discriminating. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Why Choose the Liberal Arts?
Author: Mark William Roche
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268091749
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In a world where the value of a liberal arts education is no longer taken for granted, Mark William Roche lucidly and passionately argues for its essential importance. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience in higher education as a student, faculty member, and administrator, Roche deftly connects the broad theoretical perspective of educators to the practical needs and questions of students and their parents. Roche develops three overlapping arguments for a strong liberal arts education: first, the intrinsic value of learning for its own sake, including exploration of the profound questions that give meaning to life; second, the cultivation of intellectual virtues necessary for success beyond the academy; and third, the formative influence of the liberal arts on character and on the development of a sense of higher purpose and vocation. Together with his exploration of these three values—intrinsic, practical, and idealistic—Roche reflects on ways to integrate them, interweaving empirical data with personal experience. Why Choose the Liberal Arts? is an accessible and thought-provoking work of interest to students, parents, and administrators.
