Apprenticeship Writings of Frank Norris 1896-1898 : Volume 1, 1896-1897, Memoirs, American Philosophical Society (vol. 219) (Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society)

Presents 95 short works by Norris (1870-1902) as an introduction to his wide range of precocious displays of talent immediately prior to the novelistic phase of his career, and as a means of providing a background against which his novels may be more profitably read and analyzed. Many of these writings merit attention because of their intrinsic worth;, many mark the initial uses of story materials and concepts later developed more fully in the novels.
