Canon, Classical Authors and the Teaching of Latin
Keywords:
Canon, Classical Authors, Juan Luis Vives, Antonio Llull, Diego Saavedra Fajardo, Thomas S. EliotAbstract
The concept of ‘canon’ relates to the classical concept linked to the teaching of grammar and rhetoric. This teaching is based on the knowledge of the authors, acquired through imitation and emulation. We study some aspects of that relationship in Quintilian, Juan LuisVives, Antonio Llull, Diego Saavedra Fajardo and Thomas S. Eliot. Through these authors the importance of so-called “vulgar Humanism” is considered, as part of the cultivation of the European languages that will break with its cultural unity based on the classical authors.
