To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A younger literature will choose, by a sort of natural selection, some things for assimilation from an elder literature, for no more apparent reason than it will reject other things, and it will transform them in the process so that it will give them the effect of indigeneity. The short story among the Italians, who called it the novella, and supplied us with the name devoted solely among us to fiction of epical mag- "3 LITERATURE AND LIFE nitude, refined indefinitely upon the Greek romance, if... it derived from that ; it retrenched itself in scope, and enlarged itself in the variety of its types. But still these remained types, and they remained types with the French imitators of the Italian novella. It was not till the Spaniards borrowed the form of the novella and transplanted it to their racier soil that it began to bear character, and to fruit in the richness of their pica- resque fiction. When the English borrowed it they adapted it, in the metrical tales of Chaucer, to the ge- nius of their nation, which was then both poetical and humorous.
