Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reader's Basis Experience has shown that the subject of literary composition, taught in successive grades during a period of two or three school years, is not grasped by the student with any sense of the unity of the whole, and that, therefore, near the end of the required course in English, a review should be given which will unify what the student has previously learned. Moreover, since it is the main purpose of the early part of the English course to stimulate and train a student's power of expression, and to present the subject of literary composition from a writer's or speaker's point of view, so it should be the main purpose of the latter part of the course to train the student's power to read, and to present the same subject from the reader's point of view. It is, therefore, the object of this book to unify the impressions received by students during a course vin English by giving in condensed statement the whole theory of literary composition, presenting the subject from a reader's rather than a writer's point of view. The book is intended to be used during the last half year of a required English course, and is intended to lay the basis for advanced elective courses, and for the regular English courses in college. Although the book is intended primarily for use in the class-room, it is purposely put in a form which may be acceptable to the general reader.
