Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Comprehensive Subject Index to Universal Prose Fiction This work is an arrangement into an alphabetical subject list of works of fiction which are founded on fact, historical, physical, psychological, or moral. Foreign fiction, having a common alphabet, is included, as well as English, with the addition to the lists of the ´English translations whenever they exist. No attempt has been made to give the different translations by their translators, as for the purposes of a subject index one translation is as good as another. It has not been the object of the author to include in this topical arrangement all works of fiction, but only novels with a purpose, those which are sent out into the world with a definite lesson to teach mankind. The author reserves the right, even in this narrow limit, to discard many purpose novels where the facts forming the foundation of the stories have been so misrepresented or misstated as to be an injury rather than a help to the reader. Such an index must necessarily include very largely the writers of our own century. The older works of fiction, with a few notable exceptions, deal with intense love affairs, and have no other object than the whiling away of an idle hour. During our own century the novel has come to have a very different sphere. It is no longer sufficient that the work of fiction be an avenue through which the reader may follow the working of an overwrought imagination.
