Description
THE IMPORTANCE OF A. C. BRADLEY IN THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF ENGLISH studies has often been noted. As Professor of Poetry at Oxford from 1901 to 1906, his support for the literary teachers in the English School, at a time when linguistic interests were predominant, was later acclaimed by Ernest de Selincourt, himself one of those teachers: Professor Bradley came to our aid; with the special object of helping the English School he voluntarily extended the scope of his office, and by delivering those lectures upon Shakespeare and Wordsworth, the like of which had not been heard since the days of Coleridge, he convinced a somewhat incredulous University that English poetry was worthy of a place among academic studies, and thus prepared the ground for a work so happily consolidated under the guidance of Sir Walter Raleigh, the President of Magdalen, and Professor Nichol Smith.
