"The Glory of English Prose" by Stephen Coleridge is a collection of letters written in the early 20th century, specifically designed to introduce literary concepts to the author's grandson, Antony. Through a series of epistolary discussions, Coleridge aims to illuminate the beauty and significance of the English language and its literature, encouraging a deep appreciation for its most esteemed authors and works. The opening of the work sets the stage for this literary journey, as Coleridge reflects on the prior letters written to his grandson about the world around him. He now seeks to guide Antony through the vast landscape of English prose, discussing the importance of differentiating between high-quality writing and the all-too-common vulgarities of language. Coleridge provides insightful examples illustrating the power and elegance of well-crafted prose, aiming to instill a sense of pride and respect for the English language in his grandson, while drawing from a variety of historical figures and text excerpts in both prose and poetry.
