The work explores the principles of narration not only in fiction but in history, biography, and all forms of composition that present real or imagined events in sequence. Maxcy examines components such as setting, plot, character, point of view, and rhetorical qualities in storytelling, with clarity and examples aimed at students, scriveners, and anyone interested in the craft. The tone is practical and direct, making complex narrative theory accessible to lay readers and practitioners alike. -- Maxcy (1865-1936) taught English, rhetoric, and composition at Williams College, and was deeply involved in pedagogy and writing instruction. His method balances theoretical insight with hands-on application, making this text a valuable reference for writers, journalists, teachers, and scholars. -- A thoughtfully chosen title for collectors of rhetoric, education, or early 20th-century textbooks. Given its teaching legacy and enduring relevance to writing instruction, this edition offers both historical interest and useful insight for modern narrators. ~ We appreciate your consideration of one of our books, art prints or novelty items.
