Ivor Armstrong Richards

    26 février 1893 – 7 septembre 1979

    Ivor Armstrong Richards fut un influent critique littéraire et rhétoricien anglais, devenant une figure fondatrice de la critique littéraire moderne. Ses œuvres, particulièrement celles axées sur le sens, la critique littéraire et la rhétorique, ont jeté les bases de la Nouvelle Critique et introduit le concept de 'critique pratique'. Cette approche a conduit au développement des techniques de lecture analytique (close reading), considérées comme le début des études littéraires anglaises contemporaines. Richards est largement reconnu comme l'un des fondateurs de la recherche littéraire moderne.

      The English Through Pictures series, created by I.A. Richards and Christine Gibson, aims to help learners quickly and clearly master English through visual aids. The authors carefully selected the most useful English words, focusing on those that can define others, and organized them into key patterns for effective communication. Book 1 introduces 250 essential words, followed by an additional 500 in Book 2. Together, these 750 words are utilized in Book 3 to develop a vocabulary of 1000 words, which can help learners understand up to 20,000 words in English due to their defining power. The series emphasizes learner responsibility, allowing individuals to immediately apply essential words in creating meaningful sentence patterns illustrated with simple drawings. This approach enhances focus on sentence structure and builds confidence as learners gain control over the language. The workbooks in Books 1 and 2 provide challenges that reinforce their developing skills as speakers and readers. With motivation and inspiration, learners will discover that fluent communication in English, the global lingua franca, is well within their reach. The series has already benefited millions in over forty countries.
