Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Balzac and the Short-Story The reference to Caleb Williams, in Balzac's preface, is significant. He is correct in ascribing to Godwin's novel the interest that rests upon a vivid presentation of one situation; from beginning to end the attention is fastened upon the relations of Williams and the man who is first his patron and then his persecutor, Falkland, and, throughout, the action is based upon the unconfessed crime of the latter. The following comment in Godwin's preface shows how he himself valued the effect of such a structure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
