39、分数：0.00)九、TEXT A(总题数：1，分数：5.00)It is possible for students to obtain advanced degree in English while knowing little or nothing about traditional scholarly methods. The consequences of this neglect of traditional scholarship are particularly unfortunate for the study of women writers. If the canon t

40、he list of authors whose works are most widely taughtis ever to include more women, scholars must be well trained in historical scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know how to read early manuscripts, locate rare hooks, establish a sequence of editions, and so on are lacking in cruci

41、al tools for revising the canon.To address such concerns, an experimental version of the traditional scholarly methods course was de signed to raise students consciousness about the usefulness of traditional learning for any modern critic or theorist. To minimize the artificial aspects of the conven

42、tional course, the usual procedure of assigning a large number of small problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods was abandoned, though this procedure has the obvious advantage of at least superficially familiarizing students with a wide range of reference sources. Instead students

43、were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on a neglected eighteenth century writer, Elizabeth Griffith, to give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship and to inspire them to take responsibility for the quality of their own work.Griffiths work presented a number of advantages for this particular pedagogical purpose.
