"When from time to time Mr. Horan's books have appeared, this writer has been impressed with their fine press; has even on occasion been interested enough to locate copies, sometimes for close reading, sometimes for casual browsing; and has felt that Horan's total output has been of sufficient merit to justify more than casual consideration of his books. This belief is the motivation for this paper, the purpose of which is to bring together for the first time a listing of Mr. Horan's works, with descriptions thereof, and a summary of the critics' reactions to his published books. This bibliographical and descriptive report is prefaced by a brief sketch of Horan's life"--Introduction. / Carbon copy of typescript. / "August, 1957." / "Submitted to the Graduate council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 62-69).
