Literature And Its Professors is a book written by Thomas Purnell and originally published in 1867. The book is a critical review of the state of literature and literary education in the mid-19th century, particularly in the United States. Purnell argues that literature is a vital component of education and that the role of professors of literature is crucial in shaping the minds of students.The book is divided into several sections, each examining a different aspect of literature and literary education. Purnell begins by discussing the importance of literature in developing critical thinking skills and shaping moral character. He then examines the role of literature in society, arguing that it has the power to shape public opinion and influence social change.Purnell also critiques the state of literary education in his time, arguing that professors of literature should be more than mere lecturers and should engage in active research and scholarship. He also advocates for a more diverse curriculum that includes works from a variety of cultures and time periods.Overall, Literature And Its Professors is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the importance of literature and literary education in society. It remains a relevant and valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of literature and its role in shaping our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
