Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Short Stories The six stories here printed have been chosen as excellent in themselves, as representative of the leading modem Italian short story writers, and as affording varied pictures of life in different parts of Italy. The order in which they are arranged serves in general to indicate their relative difficulty, - besides giving place aux dames. The first two stories are simple in wording and in construction, and in order to make them available for effective use at the beginning of a course they have been given very full grammatical notes, and the irregular verb forms which occur in them (except the forms of avere and essere) have been separately entered in the vocabulary. The texts have been taken from current Italian editions, and no changes have been made in them except for the correction of obvious errors. The introductions dealing with Serao, Deledda, Fucini, and d'Annunzio are by Mr. Altrocchi. The other two introductions and the notes are by Mr. Wilkins. The introductions for Fogazzaro and Fucini mention all of their collected works. The other writers have produced so much that complete enumeration seemed inadvisable, and only their more important books are mentioned. Continuous and detailed bibliographies of their writings and of critical studies dealing with them appear in the several volumes of La Critica, a review founded in 1903 and directed by Benedetto Croce.
