| Summary |
"Mons Spes et novellæ aliæ" by E. Parmalee Prentice is a collection of Latin translations of modern stories, published in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide enjoyable and accessible texts for students learning Latin, departing from traditional methods of language instruction that focus predominantly on grammar and forms. It introduces contemporary narratives from various authors, reshaping classic literary teachings through more relatable and engaging content. The opening of the volume discusses the shortcomings of traditional Latin instruction, emphasizing the lack of captivating materials that could make learning the language more enjoyable. It argues for the integration of modern stories into the curriculum, asserting that engaging narratives can enhance language proficiency while providing a pleasurable learning experience. The introduction suitably sets the tone for a refreshing approach to Latin education, one that seeks to make the language resonate with contemporary readers and learners.
