(Byron Johnson) 1877 1920 Modern American Prose Selections Produced by Matt Whittaker and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "Modern American Prose Selections" by Byron J. Rees is a collection of essays and addresses, compiled and edited in the early 20th century. The anthology features works by notable figures such as Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin K. Lane, focusing on themes central to American identity, tradition, and social issues of the time. The collected prose aims to highlight the depth and variety of contemporary American thought and writing, making it an intriguing read for anyone interested in historical perspectives on American society and politics. The opening of this anthology presents a thoughtful preface by the editor, where he articulates his intent to share a selection of prose that represents typical contemporary American themes rather than simply the best or most renowned works. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the contributions of figures like Lincoln and Roosevelt to American identity while introducing essays on essential societal topics like immigration, the relationship between labor and capital, and educational philosophies. The preface serves not only as an introduction to the selections but also as a reflective exercise on the significance of American values, where the virtues of dedication and communal responsibility stand central to the narrative of identity and progress.
