What reading level is The Contemporary Short Story a Practical Manual book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sherman, on O. Henry's surprise climaxes: "His surprises are not generally dependent upon arbitrary arrangements of ex- ternal circumstances, but upon plausible shifts and twists in the f eelings and ideas of the human agents. " All young writers please copy!
[146] Character vs. Plot An interesting psychological comparison may be made between Maupassant's A Coward and Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Defoe was, as Leslie Stephen has said, primarily and essentially a journalist. "It never seemed to occu...r to him to analyze character or work up sentiment. " He portrayed merely what he saw, not what he felt about what he saw. He does not even make Friday's death pathetic. And Crusoe displays, in the face of his isolation and hard- ships, no mental torments whatever only a "preternatural stolidity. " There is certainly a fault in character-drawing here though Crusoe, we must remember, was a typical Eng- lishman of the early eighteenth century, who distrusted "enthusiasm" of any sort and was as hard-headed and devoted to reason as any mortal can be.
