This is a critical account of one of the most individual and highly
developed genres in German literature. The novella may be defined
as a narrative in prose, usually short, dealing with one striking
fateful event and distinguished by careful artistry of
presentation. The book begins by analyzing the features which mark
off the novelle from its relatives, the novel and short story; it
then describes the different forms and structures which the novelle
has assumed under the great prosaists of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. In this edition Professor Waidson has extended
the account from the period of Thomas Mann's Der Tod in Venedig up
to the beginning of the 1960s.
