Excerpt from Forces in Fiction and Other EssaysNor is it Jingoism, by the way, to remark that the introduction of some of the Southern and Western types so saliently depicted by younger American novelists - Page and Harris, Stuart, Thanet, Wister, Garland, Chopin, Fernald, and others - is as hopeful a sign as current fiction can show, and one hardly to be paralleled in England. In the earlier days Bret Harte took a unique place because of this same power, albeit not always used aright. Who, let us inquire, are the living personages in the stories of Henry James? Verily, since the days of The American, the best in this kind are but shadows. Stevenson, ad mirable in the other cardinal points of invention, construction, and a style that sets him apart from his contemporaries, has also thrown out upon the fictional canvas a few figures which are distinct - Alan Breck, David Balfour, both the Bal lantraes, Kirstie the elder, and quite a portrait gallery of rascals the most firm-bodied and pictur esque in the novel-writing of our time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
