Summary "Types of Prose Narratives: A Text-Book for the Story Writer" by Harriott Ely Fansler is a comprehensive guide intended for aspiring writers, likely written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the different types of prose narratives, exploring their structures, characteristics, and functions. Fansler aims to educate writers about the historical context of storytelling, helping them understand the evolution of narrative forms and providing practical tools for crafting their own stories. At the start of the textbook, the author introduces the core premise: narratives are essential to both our understanding of literature and our capacity to create. Fansler emphasizes that storytelling is not a spontaneous act but rather a craft that draws upon the collective traditions of the past. The opening lays out the intention to guide readers through various narrative types, from myths and legends to modern fiction forms, encouraging a methodical approach to writing. Fansler connects the importance of historical context to contemporary storytelling, highlighting how understanding these foundational elements can inspire new authors and boost their confidence in creating original work.
