RIVERSIDE ESSAYS
Edited by ADA L. F. SNELL
Associate Professor of English, Mount Holyoke College
The purpose of the Riverside Essays is to present to
students of English composition essays by modern authors
which deal in a fresh way with such subjects as
politics, science, literature, and nature. The close study
of vigorous and artistic writing is generally acknowledged
to be the best method of gaining a mastery of the technique
of composition.
In the Riverside Essays the material consists of essays which, with few exceptions, have been printed entire. Other advantages of the Riverside Essays for both instructor and student lie in the fact that the material is presented in separate volumes, each of which is devoted to a single author and contains two or more representative essays.
Finally, the series has none of the earmarks of the ordinary textbook which the student passes on, marked and battered, to the next college generation. The books are attractively printed, and bound in the Library Binding of the Riverside Literature Series. The student will therefore be glad to keep these books for his own library.
