The selections are concerned mainly with prose, since, according to the author, prose fiction has been the major vehicle of realism.Originally published in 1963.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
