Excerpt from The Study of a Novel

This volume is the result of practical experience in teaching the novel, and its aim is primarily pedagogical. 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 tempo rary 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 tech nical 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.
