Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Novel: A Study of the Purpose and the Meaning of Fiction
It is a graceless thing' to parade one's own merits, but I really cannot forbear pointing out my one small claim to the gratitude of all and sundry. Except for a trivial indiscretion committed by Mr. William Dean Howells more than a quarter of a century ago, and reproduced on page 268, you might search in vain through these ten chapters for the aimless and ques tion-begging word psychology or any of its deri vatives.
