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.
Volume one looks at living and thinking, analysing the minds and
messages of these seminal American writers with reference to their work.
This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in American
literature and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. 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.
