Publisher's Synopsis
Amherst Sketches is a collection of light prose pieces selected from the Amherst Literary Monthly, a publication that ran from 1880 to 1896. This book, published in 1892, features a variety of sketches, essays, and stories written by students and faculty members of Amherst College in Massachusetts. The pieces cover a wide range of topics, from humorous anecdotes to serious reflections on life and society. Some of the authors featured in the collection include Leroy Phillips, who edited the book, as well as William L. Cowles, George W. Cable, and Arthur T. Lyman. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the literary culture of a small New England college in the late 19th century, and offers readers a chance to explore the writing of some of its most talented and creative minds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
