Description

1910. In this volume Shuman has tried to formulate a simple, homemade system of criticism, yet one based on the highest standards, by means of which the ordinary reader may judge for himself as to the real merits of the latest popular novel-or of any other book. The object is to help the average serious-minded woman or man, young or old, to get his share of the best books-within the limits of his own taste-from library shelves and from the motley new thousands that pour yearly from the presses. Contents: General Standards; First Steps in Analysis; The Plot of a Novel; Character Drawing; Thought and Imagination; Setting and Atmosphere; Composition and Unity; Style and Spirit; Morality in Art; Realism and Romanticism; The Short Story; Prose Other than Fiction; Poetry and the Drama; and The Object of Art.
