Excerpt from Specimens of the Short Story: Edited With Introduction and Notes
Sufficient specific references to the author's work are given to enable the reader to follow out readily this first-hand study. The very full quotations from Lamb's letters given in the Notes show how closely one may sometimes trace personal history in supposed fiction. Such study not merely makes biography interesting, but deepens one's insight into the author's literary genius and spirit.
