Excerpt from The Great Modern English Stories: An Anthology George Meredith's five short stories are each as long as the average novelette, and accordingly he is not represented in this collection, but they have the unity of the true short story, and in them there is a keen preoccupation with the subtleties of characterisation which was hitherto uncommon intheenglish, asopposedtotheamerican, short story. I suppose his masterpiece in this genre is The Tale of Chloe, a delicately woven study of place, idyllic in its portraiture, whose outward frailty conceals vigorous delineation and a poignancy deftly rendered by suggestion.

Excerpt from book: A LODGING FOR THE NIGHT By Robert Lou1s Stevenson IT was late in November, 1456. The snow fell over Paris with rigorous, relentless persistence; sometimes the wind made a sally and scattered it in flying vortices; sometimes there was a lull, and flake after flake descended out of the black night air, silent, circuitous, interminable. To poor people, looking up under moist eye brows, it seemed a wonder where it all came from. Master Francis Villon had propounded an alternative that afternoon, at a tavern window: was it only Pagan Jupiter plucking geese upon Olympus? or were the holy angels moulting? He was only a poor Master of Arts, he went on; and as the question somewhat touched upon divinity, he durst not venture to conclude. A silly old priest from Montargis, who was among the company, treated the young rascal to a bottle of wine in honour of the jest and grimaces with which it was accompanied, and swore on his own white beard that he had been just such another irreverent dog when he was Villon's age. The air was raw and pointed, but not far below freezing; and the flakes were large, damp, and adhesive. The whole city was sheeted up. An army might have marched from end to end and not a footfall given the alarm. If there were any belated birds in heaven, they saw the island like a large white patch, and the bridges like slim white spars, on the black ground of the river. High up overhead the snow settled among the tracery of the cathedral towers. Many a niche was drifted full; many a statue wore a long white bonnet on its grotesque or sainted head. The gargoyles had been transformed into great false noses, drooping towards the point. The crockets were like upright pillows swollen on one side. In the intervals of the wind, there was a dull sound of dripping about the pr...

Excerpt from The Great Modern English Stories an Anthology Compiled and Edited: With an Introduction George Meredith's five short stories are each as long as the average novelette, and accordingly he is not represented in this collection, but they have the unity of the true short story, and in them there is a keen preoccupation with the subtleties of characterisation which was hitherto uncommon in the English, as opposed to the American, short story. I suppose his masterpiece in this genre is The Tale of Chloe, a delicately woven study of place, idyllic in its portraiture, whose outward frailty conceals vigorous delineation and a poignancy deftly rendered by suggestion. Thomas Hardy brought to the short story a tragic irony in sharp contrast to the comic irony of Meredith. His method is relentless, and by economy of background, with spare strokes and broad outlines, he conveys a pressing sense of destiny brooding over man and his works and guiding them into inevitable courses. The best of his short stories are to be found in Wessex Tales and A Group of N 0616 Dames, and I have chosen as typically representa tive of his excellences The Three Strangers, the story which in my opinion is destined to live longest by reason of its classical structure, vivid contrasts, complete realisation of background, and sharp dramatic portraiture.
