Haiku
Although there were further attempts outside Japan to imitate the `` hokku '' in the early 20th century , there was little understanding of its principles . Early Western scholars such as Basil Hall Chamberlain ( 1850 -- 1935 ) and William George Aston were mostly dismissive of hokku 's poetic value . One of the first advocates of English - language hokku was the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi . In `` A Proposal to American Poets , '' published in the Reader magazine in February 1904 , Noguchi gave a brief outline of the hokku and some of his own English efforts , ending with the exhortation , `` Pray , you try Japanese Hokku , my American poets ! '' At about the same time the poet Sadakichi Hartmann was publishing original English - language hokku , as well as other Japanese forms in both English and French .

Haiku
The Japanese - American scholar and translator Kenneth Yasuda published The Japanese Haiku : Its Essential Nature , History , and Possibilities in English , with Selected Examples in 1957 . The book includes both translations from Japanese and original poems of his own in English , which had previously appeared in his book titled A Pepper - Pod : Classic Japanese Poems together with Original Haiku . In these books Yasuda presented a critical theory about haiku , to which he added comments on haiku poetry by early 20th - century poets and critics . His translations apply a 5 -- 7 -- 5 syllable count in English , with the first and third lines end - rhymed . Yasuda considered that haiku translated into English should utilize all of the poetic resources of the language . Yasuda 's theory also includes the concept of a `` haiku moment '' based in personal experience , and provides the motive for writing a haiku ( ' an aesthestic moment ' of a timeless feeling of enlightened harmony as the poet 's nature and the environment are unified ' ) . This notion of the haiku moment has resonated with haiku writers in English , even though the notion is not widely promoted in Japanese haiku. ( See however , ' Shiki 's Haiku Moments for Us Today '

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
For students , especially undergraduate students , the text is usually given in translation . Notable translators include Jessie Weston , whose 1898 prose translation and 1907 poetic translation took many liberties with the original ; Theodore Banks , whose 1929 translation was praised for its adaptation of the language to modern usage ; and Marie Borroff , whose imitative translation was first published in 1967 and `` entered the academic canon '' in 1968 , in the second edition of the Norton Anthology of English Literature . In 2010 , her ( slightly revised ) translation was published as a Norton Critical Edition , with a foreword by Laura Howes . In 2007 , Simon Armitage , who grew up near the Gawain poet 's purported residence , published a translation which attracted attention in the US and the United Kingdom , and was published in the United States by Norton , which replaced Borroff 's translation with Armitage 's for the ninth edition of the Norton Anthology of English Literature .

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
In 1997 the UK edition won a National Book Award and a gold medal in the 9 to 11 year - olds category of the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize . The Smarties award , which is voted for by children , made the book well - known within six months of publication , while most children 's books have to wait for years . The following year , Philosopher 's Stone won almost all the other major British awards that were decided by children . It was also shortlisted for children 's books awards adjudicated by adults , but did not win . Sandra Beckett comments that books which were popular with children were regarded as undemanding and as not of the highest literary standards -- for example the literary establishment disdained the works of Roald Dahl , an overwhelming favourite of children before the appearance of Rowling 's books . In 2003 , the novel was listed at number 22 on the BBC 's survey The Big Read .

History of education in the United States
In the 17th century , colonists imported schoolbooks from England . By 1690 , Boston publishers were reprinting the English Protestant Tutor under the title of The New England Primer . The Primer was built on rote memorization . By simplifying Calvinist theology , the Primer enabled the Puritan child to define the limits of the self by relating his life to the authority of God and his parents . The Primer included additional material that made it widely popular in colonial schools until it was supplanted by Webster 's work . The `` blue backed speller '' of Noah Webster was by far the most common textbook from the 1790s until 1836 , when the McGuffey Readers appeared . Both series emphasized civic duty and morality , and sold tens of millions of copies nationwide .

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Bloomsbury accepted the book , paying Rowling a £ 2,500 advance , and Cunningham sent proof copies to carefully chosen authors , critics and booksellers in order to obtain comments that could be quoted when the book was launched . He was less concerned about the book 's length than about its author 's name , since the title sounded like a boys ' book to him , and he believed boys preferred books by male authors . Rowling therefore adopted the nom de plume J.K. Rowling just before publication . In June 1997 , Bloomsbury published Philosopher 's Stone with an initial print - run of 500 copies in hardback , three hundred of which were distributed to libraries . Her original name , `` Joanne Rowling '' , can be found in small print on the copyright page of this first British edition . ( The 1998 first American edition would remove reference to `` Joanne '' completely . ) The short initial print run was standard for first novels , and Cunningham hoped booksellers would read the book and recommend it to customers . Examples from this initial print run have sold for as much as US $33,460 in a 2007 Heritage Auction .
English translations of the Quran
The Qur'an ( 1910 ) by Mirza Abul Fazl , Arabic Text and English Translation Arranged Chronologically with an Abstract ( Allahabad ) . Mirza Abul Fazl ( 1865 -- 1956 ) , was a native of Allahabad , India . He was the first Muslim to present a translation of the Qur'an in English along with the original Arabic text . The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an ( 1930 ) by Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall . An English convert to Islam penned this translation at the behest of the Emir of Hyderabad while on a sojourn in India . Pickthall 's widely printed translation was regarded as `` an important milestone in the long course of Koranic interpretation '' by later esteemed Qur'an translator A.J. Arberry , who also noted a few problems with Pickthall 's verse numbering , which deviated in places from what had by then become the standard Arabic edition by Gustav Fluegel . The Holy Qur'an : Translation and Commentary ( 1934 ) by Abdullah Yusuf Ali . This translation is widely used in many English - speaking countries and was the most popular translation before the Interpretation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an was published in 1999 . The Qur'an : Translated , with a Critical Re-arrangement of the Surahs ( 1937 -- 39 ) by Richard Bell . Published by Edinburgh University Press . A.J. Arberry , in the preface to his own translation of the Qur'an , notes : `` Dr Bell was a most erudite scholar of Arabic , and had devoted many years to his ' critical re-arrangement of the Surahs ( chapters ) ' ... He quite literally took the Koran to pieces and put it together again , his meticulous reconstruction extending as far as individual verses and even parts of verses . As he set up his translation in a kind of tabular form to indicate his views of how the discourse originally ran , it is virtually unreadable ; certainly one needs to have some detailed knowledge of the text in order to benefit by the arduous exercise of studying his hard - laboured pages . '' The Koran Interpreted ( 1955 ) by Arthur Arberry . The first English translation by an academic scholar of Arabic , Islam and Sufism .
