[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The American Short Story: A Study of the Influence of Locality in Its Development A few years ago the expectant critic used to scan the horizon for the coming of the "American novel," in whose pages the wonder of our new nationality was to find a worthy elucidation. From that moment of achieved national consciousness our real literature was to begin. Somehow the arrival of the book seems to be deferred, and our critics are less sanguine in their prophecies about it. In so far as they try for larger interpretation of our national spirit, our writers of fiction still fail in certainty and definite aim, and commonly fail into conventionality or jingoism. American fiction at its best is mainly an affair of localities. It is the story of New England or Louisiana, of the corn lands of Dakota, or the mining towns of the Sierras, or the snows of Alaska, or, it may be, of the crowded realism of the manifold life of New York City. From it all we receive a succession of vivid cross-sections of the life of particular localities. Consciously or unconsciously, therefore, American fiction has taken the form of special studies of the reaction between individual character and local environment.
