Summary "English Prose" by Frederick William Roe and George Roy Elliott is a collection of related essays intended for the teaching and practice of writing, compiled in the early 20th century. The book offers an innovative arrangement of selections that touch upon various aspects of human thought and experience, from personal life and education to public affairs and literature, making it a valuable resource for college students and instructors in composition. The opening of "English Prose" includes a preface explaining the editors' philosophy of teaching composition, which emphasizes the importance of engaging content over strict adherence to form. They suggest that students are more likely to develop their writing skills when they have compelling ideas and topics to explore. The preface outlines their plan for organizing the essays into thematic groups that facilitate discussion and reflection in the classroom. It sets the stage for the essays that follow, inviting students to think critically about the art of writing and the richness of the ideas presented in the selected works.
