Cool, Charles Dean (1880-1951)
Charles Dean Cool
Vida
Charles Dean Cool fue un profesor estadounidense de lenguas romances que nació en 1880, presumiblemente en el estado de Michigan, y falleció en 1951, en el condado de Dane del estado de Wisconsin (EE. UU.). No se conservan apenas datos acerca de su vida, más allá de que fue alumno en la University of Michigan y de que residió en Cambridge (Massachusetts) tras graduarse. Gracias a sus publicaciones, sabemos además que Cool fue profesor asistente de lenguas romances en la University of Wisconsin en torno a la década de 1910.
Entre las primeras publicaciones de Charles Dean Cool encontramos obras dedicadas a la literatura francesa recogida en el ámbito periodístico estadounidense, como su tesis doctoral French literature in American magazines prior to 1830 (University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1909), y obras para la enseñanza del francés a través de textos breves, como French anecdotes (D. C. Health & Co., Boston, 1910). Esta obra fue publicada junto al profesor y escritor estadounidense William Frederic Giese (1864-1943) un año después de que ambos autores hubieran colaborado en otra obra similar, esta vez para el aprendizaje del español a través de anécdotas: Spanish anecdotes, arranged for translation and conversation (1909), que cuenta con un total de 162 textos breves que se completan con unas notas explicativas de refranes en español y con un vocabulario final español-inglés. En 1917, el profesor Cool sacó a la luz su Spanish composition, un manual destinado a los estudiantes de instituto, college y universidad para la instrucción de la composición en español.
