 cted that he
should, Only too often did he sink to the grade of the ordinary "Tale
from 'Blackwood,'" which he himself satirized in his usual savage vein
of humor Yet even in his flimsiest and most tawdry tales we see the
truth of Mr Lowell's assertion that Poe had "two of the prime qualities
of genius,--a faculty of vigorous yet minute analysis, and a wonderful
fecundity of imagination" Mr Lowell said also that Poe combined "in a
very remarkable manner two faculties which are seldom found united,--a
power of influencing the mind of the reader by the impalpable shadows of
mystery, and a minuteness of detail which does not leave a pin or a
button unnoticed Both are, in truth, the natural results of the
predominating quality of his mind, to which we have before
alluded,--analysis" In Poe's hands, however, the enumeration of pins
and buttons, the exact imitation of the prosaic facts of humdrum life in
this workaday world, is not an end, but a means only, whereby he
constructs and intensifies the shadow of mystery which broods over the
things thus realistically portrayed

With the recollection that it is more than half a century since
Hawthorne and Poe wrote their best Short-stories, it is not a little
comic to see now and again in American newspapers a rash assertion that
"American literature has hitherto been deficient in good Short-stories,"
or the reckless declaration that "the art of writing Short-stories has
not hitherto been cultivated in the United States" Nothing could be
more inexact than these statements Almost as soon as America began to
have any literature at all it had good Short-stories It is quite within
ten, or at the most twenty, years that the American novel has come to
the front and forced the acknowledgment of its equality with the English
novel and the French novel; but for fifty years the American
Short-story has had a supremacy which any competent critic could not but
acknowledge Indeed, the present excellence of the American novel is due
in great measure to the Short-story; for nearly every one of the
American novelists whose works are now read by the whole
English-speaking race began as a writer of Short-stories Although as a
form of fiction the Short-story is not inferior to the Novel, and
although it is not easier, all things considered, yet its brevity makes
its composition simpler for the 'prentice hand Though the Short-stories
of the beginner may not be good, yet in the writing of Short-stories he
shall learn how to tell a story, he shall discover by experience the
elements of the art of fiction more readily and, above all, more quickly
than if he had begun on a long and exhausting novel The physical strain
of writing a full-sized novel is far greater than the reader can well
imagine To this strain the beginner in fiction may gradually accustom
himself by the composition of Short stories

Here, if the digression may be pardoned, occasion serves to say that if
our writers of plays had the same chance that our writers of novels
have, we might now have a school of American dramatists of which we
should be as proud as of our school of American novelists In dramatic
composition, the equivalent of the Short-story is the one-act play, be
it drama or comedy or comedietta or farce As the novelists have learned
their trade by the writing of Short-stories, so the dramatists might
learn their trade, far more difficult as it is and more complicated, by
the writing of one-act plays But, while the magazines of the United
States are hungry for good Short-stories, and sift carefully all that
are sent to them, in the hope of happening on a treasure, the theatres
of the United States are closed to one-act plays, and the dramatist is
denied the opportunity of making a humble and tentative beginning The
conditions of the theatre are such that there is little hope of a change
for the better in this respect,--more's the pity The manager has a
tradition that a "broken bill," a programme containing more than one
play, is a confession of weakness, and he prefers, so far as possible,
to keep his weakness concealed

When we read the roll of American novelists, we see that nearly all of
them began as writers of Short-stories Some of them, Mr Bret Harte,
for instance, and Mr Edward Everett Hale, never got any farther, or, at
least, if they wrote novels, their novels did not receive the full
artistic appreciation and popular approval bestowed on their
Short-stories Even Mr Cable's "Grandissimes" has not made his readers
forget his "Jean-ah Poquelin," nor has Mr Aldrich's "Queen of Sheba,"
charming as she was, driven from our memory his "Margery Daw," as
delightful and as captivating as that other non-existent heroine, Mr
Austin Dobson's "Dorothy" Mrs Burnett put forth one volume of
Short-stories and Miss Woolson two before they attempted the more
sustained flight of the full-fledged Novel The same may be said of Miss
Jewett, of Mr Craddock, and of Mr Boyesen Mr Bishop and Mr Lathrop
and Mr Julian Hawthorne wrote Short-stories before they wrote novels
Mr Henry James has never gathered into a book from the back-numbers of
magazines the half of his earlier efforts

In these references to the American magazine I believe I have suggested
the real reason of the superiority of the American Short-stories over
the English It is not only that the eye of patriotism may detect more
fantasy, more humor, a finer feeling for art, in these younger United
States, but there is a more emphatic and material reason for the
American proficiency There is in the United States a demand for
Short-stories which does not exist in Great Britain, or at any rate not
in the same degree The Short-story is of very great importance to the
American magazine But in the British magazine the serial Novel is the
one thing of consequence, and all else is termed "padding" In England
the writer of three-volume Novels is the best
