On Visualization as an Element in Narrative Composition
“Some excellent study methods and questions are given in The Writing of the Short Story, by Lewis Worthington Smith.” -Joseph Berg Esenwein, Studying the Short-story: Sixteen Short-story Classics
“Mr. Smith’s small manual is intended as a text book. His point of view is that of the psychologist; he has undertaken to study psychologically and minutely classify the means by which the short story writer conveys the facts of his narrative and his impression.” -Educational Review, Volume 26, 1903
“Lewis Worthington Smith, professor of English at Drake University…covered issues as specific as different elements of the short story – incident, character, description, and feeling – and as broad as general literary principles – beauty and truth, the organic unity of conception, the pervasive personality of the artist, and the concealment of art.” -Ye Qi, Megashift from Plot to Character In American Short Fiction (1900-1941): A Critical Studying
“We can only commend Mr. Smith’s little book. His chapters and visualization are clear and throw a very interesting light upon the subject.” -The Inlander, Volume 13, 1902
