Evelyn May Albright Short-Story

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The aim of this book is not to trace the origin or the development of the short-story, but to set forth some standards of appreciation of what is good in story-writing, illustrating by the practice of the masters as contrasted with amateurish fail ures: this with the view of rousing the student to a more lively interest in his reading, and of awak ening such a wholesome spirit of self-criticism as shall enable him to improve his own workmanship, should he feel called to write.
