The Scottish Connection

Pages : 222
Book Description
At the outset of the eighteenth century, college language study in America concentrated on classical rhetoric. By the end of the century, due to educational innovations from Scotland, courses in rhetoric in American schools expanded to include oratory, disputation, English grammatical lessons, and the reading of English literary selections. This study of English and American literature was born in the study of moral philosophy. Combining the study of moral philosophy with language study created a course emphasis that early American professors called "philosophical criticism." The term, philosophical, carried a meaning for them that was associated with a commitment to civic responsibility, to civic discourse, and to ancient school texts such as Cicero's De Oratore where the word oratory was used to denote, according to Cicero, the mastery of all knowledge either "by scientific investigation or by the methods of dialectic." The classroom practice of disputation was also at the center of what literary historians have deemed the "oratorical tradition," a late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century cultural phenomenon that, until now, has received little scholarly attention over the years.
