Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Masterpieces of Short Prose Fiction Granted that the "Book of Ruth," and the story of the "Forty Thieves" illustrate the fact that the world has always loved a story and sat at the feet of the story-teller, still we do not find the evolution of the short story of the nineteenth century directly traceable to such stories. When we try to present narrative form of composition to the young student endeavoring to write and brought up on cheap magazines, we do not find that this evolutionary study reaches them. These stories seem to them remote and skeleton tales, not suggesting any immediacy of experience or of imagination. Moreover, they may justly maintain that the plot of Ruth and Naomi, or of Ruth and Boas, is properly a novel plot, demanding the complication of incident which would complete the framework of the story and set it apart from the true short story. The editors of this collection of Short Stories recognize the fitness of developing the short story from its earlier form in a literary historical study of fiction, but as teachers of composition they hold that a presentation of what Professor Matthews defines as the Short Story is more profitable to classes of composition. Professor Matthews says: "It is in France and the United States, rather than in Great Britain, that we first find the true short story; and we do not find it until the second quarter of the nineteenth century."
