It is only within the last few decades that the novel has been given much separate attention in college courses, and it cannot be hoped that any detailed method of study, at so early a date, can be more than an experiment and a temporary contribution. But it has been nearly a half-century since Senior conceived a treatise on Fiction, illustrated by examples, and some ten years since Professor Newcomer wrote (in a Practical Course in English Composition) that fiction would require a special treatise even for its technical side. Such fulfilment as has been made of these prophecies has been mainly in the field of the short story. The present writer has ventured into the field of the novel, with a sense that the time had come for tillage, even though the crop might be partly of weeds. The references in the text and in the bibliography will indicate indebtedness to many works. Crawshaw, Hennequin, Moulton, andR iemann, in particular, have had a large influence on the general method or the specific analyses of this volume. Professor Perry svaluable study appeared after the plan for this study was matured, and has been read for literary enjoyment rather than for critical contribution.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
