Abstract:

My central objective in this paper is to describe one theory of the development of the short story in America. I shall call this theory the Poe-Matt hews theory, because it is dependent upon Edgar Allan Poe's criticism of Nathaniel Hawthorne's tales and seemingly upon Professor Brander Matthews' belief that the "short-story" for which Poe defined the laws is categorically different from other classes of tales.
