(Thomas George) 1859 1946 Tucker, Thomas George Platform Monologues Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Janet Blenkinship and the Online Distributed Proofreaders Europe at http://dp.rastko.net "Platform Monologues" by T. G. Tucker is a collection of public addresses written in the early 20th century. The author, a professor of Classical Philology at the University of Melbourne, seeks to advocate for the importance of literary study during a time when such readings may have been in decline. The monologues explore themes related to literary art, the characteristics of great literature, and the relationship between literature and life. At the start of the collection, the author sets the tone by reflecting on the experience of reading profound literary works and the elation they inspire in the reader. He discusses the nature of this literary "gift" and argues that understanding the essence of great literature enhances appreciation of its beauty. Furthermore, the opening establishes the foundation for the subsequent addresses, which delve into various literary themes, including the contrasting influences of Hebraism and Hellenism on literature and culture. Tucker's exploration urges readers to consider not just the content of literature, but also the artistry involved in its creation.
