Excerpt from The Jew: And Other StoriesIN studying the Russian novel it is amusing to note the Childish attitude of certain English men of letters to the novel in general, their depreciation of its in¿uence and of the public's 'inordinate' love of fiction. Many men of letters to-day look on the novel as a mere story-book, as a series of light-coloured, amus ing pictures for their 'idle hours, ' and on memoirs, biographies, histories, criticism, and poetry as the age's serious contribution to literature. Whereas the reverse is the case. The most serious and significant of all literary forms the modern world has evolved is the novel and brought to its highest development, the novel shares with poetry to-day the honour of being the supreme instrument of the great artist's literary skill.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
