Excerpt from The Standard Index of Short Stories, 1915-1933, Vol. 2: Pt. 1, A-GlaciersThe Standard Index of Short Stories 1900-1914, published in 1918, was the result of the cumulation on cards of thousands of titles of short stories by many authors that had appeared in various magazines, but in many instances were not reprinted in.book form. Although the short story is the most characteristic and popular form of American literature, it is a curious fact that the overwhelming majority of short stories, including many of the best that are published each year, are not reprinted afterwards. It is also true that many of the short stories that have appeared in magazines are not well written and have no worth, but the insistent demand for a particular story proved to me that whether a story was well written or not, it should be included in the index. This applies also to the author of one short story as well as to the author of many short stories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
