Krapp graduated from Wittenberg College in 1894 and received a PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1899.

Krapp wrote six children's books about subjects such as "the Civil War, the Great Lakes, the frontier, and country life".

His doctoral thesis was on the Legend of the Purgatory of St. Patrick.

in which he argued "that 'good English' was not determined by the conformity to grammatical laws, but by the common use of language".

described by Henry Blake Fuller as "detailing the adventures of an old language in a new country" and a book that "contravenes many of our favorite notions about ourselves and our speech".
