Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Romance Thomas, Vol. 5 The author has ventured to include under the title "Studies in Romance" a variety of compositions, all of which were the product of what was perhaps the most imaginative period of his life, so that they naturally belong together in his mind. The leading story, "Malbone," being the first of his few attempts in fiction, gave him something of the experience mentioned by Miss Alcott in her "Little Women;" namely, that the parts of a tale taken directly from real life are usually those dismissed as improbable by the reader. Thus the secret stairway in "Malbone" was called a farfetched and worn-out device, although the thing itself existed and still in part exists in the old house where the book was written in Newport; and was, in fact, the very thing which suggested the story. Having been originally constructed, probably, for smuggling purposes, it lent itself very suggestively to a tale.
