| Summary | "Modern Essays and Stories" by Frederick Houk Law is a collection of essays and short stories written in the early 20th century. This work aims to foster an appreciation of modern prose and enhance students' writing abilities through a blend of engaging narratives and instructional material. The essays are characterized by their brief formats, personal expression, and relevance to contemporary interests, making them accessible for young readers. The opening of the collection lays out the purpose of the book and explains the significance of the essay as a form of writing that allows for spontaneous and personal expression. Law discusses the lack of emphasis on essay writing in schools and positions the essay as an important literary genre that transcends mere narration or description. Instead, he emphasizes that essays should explore individual interests and personal reactions to everyday life, ultimately fostering originality and stylistic excellence in students' writing endeavors. The text also promises a variety of essays, ranging from familiar to critical and informational, thus catering to diverse tastes and educational needs. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
