Eva March Tappan's "A Friend in the Library" series is a comprehensive
guide to the writings of six seminal American writers, including Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James
Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. This
volume deals with the home-life, examining their work for references to
their home-life and their ideas relating to this concept in general.
This book offers the reader an insight into the lives and minds of these
seminal writers and is highly recommended for students of American
literature. Eva March Tappan (1854 - 1930) was an American author and
teacher. Other notable works by this author include: "Adventures &
Achievements" (1900), "Poems & Rhymes" (1900), and "In the Days of Queen
Elizabeth" (1902). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly
scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing
this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete
with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. This book was
first published in 1909.
