Excerpt from Der Fluch Der Schönheit: NovelleBut, now, what is a Shuttle? The word corresponds in form only, not in meaning, to the English novel'. In Eng lish we make but little use of the word romance as the name of a particular literary type, and when we do use it, we do not distinguish the 'romance very sharply from the novel.' Eoth names apply to any long prose fiction, while a shorter work of the same kind is usually called by us simply a 'story or perhaps a novelette.' But in Ger man, such novels as those of Scott, Dickens, George Eliot, Hawthorne, are always called Sliomaue, the momma being something quite different. The Stoman has an elab orate plot, numerous characters, and its essence is an intri cate history. The 920mm is shorter and simpler in its make-up, and its essence is an interesting situation.' Goethe, to be sure, seems to have held that the characteristic property of a true 910mm is the novelty, the unheard-of ness, of the occurrence described.2 But this conception is not now commonly adopted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
