Summary: "The Pronunciation of Greek; Accent and Quantity. A Philological Inquiry" by John Stuart Blackie is a scholarly examination of the intricacies of Greek pronunciation, written in the mid-19th century. This work analyzes historical evidence and contemporary practices surrounding the pronunciation of Greek, emphasizing the importance of accurate accentuation and vowel length in both ancient and modern renditions. The author aims to navigate the complexities and controversies that have evolved in the study and teaching of Greek language. The opening of the book presents Blackie's argument that a practical and historically informed approach to the pronunciation of Greek is crucial, particularly in light of evolving educational practices. He addresses the confusion stemming from differing methodologies over the centuries, particularly the influence of figures like Erasmus on modern interpretations. Blackie argues for returning to a more authentic approach, recognizing the insights of contemporary Greek speakers while critiquing the arbitrary conventions adopted by English-speaking scholars. His discussion sets a foundation for a rigorous exploration of Greek orthoepy and highlights the interplay between language, culture, and education. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
