Published posthumously, this 1903 collection of Norris's literary criticism was assembled by his wife Jeanette.  In the title essay, Norris argues that serious writers have an obligation to present their readers with the truths of daily life, and not with idle fantasies of romance or escape. He also discusses important issues of western literature and the closing of the American frontier.
