Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best College Short Stories, 1917-18 In my annual yearbook of the American short story it has been my custom to indicate the distinc tive stories in American periodicals by prefixing to the titles one, two or three asterisks, to indicate an ascending series of literary values. I have found it interesting to apply these tests to the stories in the present collection, and when the fact is taken into consideration that no professional writers are in cluded in the volume, I feel that the results are an interesting proof of the imaginative awakening among our American college undergraduates. I should list each of the three stories I have already mentioned with three asterisks, five other stories with two aster isks, and four others with one asterisk. In other words, of the twenty-two stories in this volume, selected by Mr. Schnittkind as a fair cross section of undergraduate writing, I should have regarded twelve as worthy of distinctive mention judged by the standards applicable to the best professional work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Short Stories of 1918: And the Yearbook of the American Short Story To repeat what I have said in these pages in previous years, for the benefit of the reader as yet unacquainted with my standards and principles Of selection, I shall point out that I have set myself the task of disengaging the essential human qualities in our contemporary fiction which, when chronicled conscientiously by our literary artists, may fairly be called a criticism of life. I am not at all interested in formulae, and organized criticism at its best would be nothing more than dead criticism, as all dogmatic interpretation of life is always dead. What has interested me, to the exclusion Of other things, is the fresh living current which flows through the best Of our work, and the psychological and imaginative reality which our writers have conferred upon it. NO substance is of importance in fiction, unless it is organic substance, that is to say, substance in which the pulse Of life is beating. Inorganic fiction has been our curse in the past, and bids fair to remain so, unless we exercise much greater artistic discrimination than we display at present. The present record covers the period from January to October inclusive, 1918. During the past ten months I have sought to select from the stories published in American magazines those which have rendered life imaginatively in organic substance and artistic form. Substance is something achieved by the artist in every act Of creation, rather than something already present, and accordingly a fact or group of facts in a story only attain substantial embodiment when the artist's power of compelling imaginative persuasion transforms them into a living truth. The first test of a short story, therefore, in any qualitative analysis is to report upon how vitally compelling the writer makes his selected facts or inci dents. This test may be conveniently called the test of substance. But a second test is necessary if the story is to take rank above other stories. The true artist will seek to shape this living substance into the most beautiful and satisfying form, by skilful selection and arrangement Of his material, and by the most direct and appealing presentation Of it in portrayal and characterization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Short Stories of 1919: And the Yearbook of the American Short Story There is nothing more horrible than a physically ma ture body moved by a childish mind. And if the average American production repels the sensitive American reader the reason is that he is witnessing just this condition. The American is aware of the individual and social prob lems which inspire the current literatures Of Europe. He is conscious Of the conflicts Of family and sex, Of the contrasts Of poverty and wealth. Of such stuff, also, are his books. Their body is mature: but their mental and spiritual motivation remains infantile. At once, it is reduced to an abortive simplification whereby the real ity is maimed, the reader's wish fulfilled as it could only be in fairyland. But the fairyland is missing: the sweet moods Of fairyland have withered in the arid sophistica tions Of American life. And yet the authors Of this sortrof book are hailed as realists, their work is acclaimed as social criticism and American interpretation. And when at times a solitary voice emerges with the truth, its message is attacked as morbid and a lie'. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Short Stories of 1916: And the Yearbook of the American Short Story The truth is that the American Short story cannot be reduced to a literary formula, and if we are to measure its progress at all, it must be, as Mr. Chesterton once happily phrased it, with a growing reed. In the past it has been a frequent comment on our literature and our life to find that its interpretation in the hands of our writers was less individual and more standardized than in other countries. There is still much truth in this observa tion, and were the fact which it chronicles a completely true generalization, I should have little hope for any future literature of permanent importance in this country. But during the past few years, slowly and naturally as the budding and growth of a plant, a new spirit in fiction has been making itself felt and spreading itself in many directions throughout the country. It had been felt in poetry much earlier, and the full fruition of its art in our poetry has almost come, but in fiction it is still young and requires much fostering in the hands of our native writers.
