Abstract

The Novel and the Tale
Krutch, Joseph Wood | July 3, 1929 issue

This article presents information on the book "No Love," by David Garnett. Not every tale worth the telling needs all the complicated machinery of the modern novel, and yet there are few writers today who know how to dispense with any of it. Hence nearly every story, short or long, is set forth with all the paraphernalia devised during the past two hundred years for achieving social background, realistic setting, psychological analysis, and dramatic immediacy. Readers seem, for example, to have forgot that the genealogy of the hero is not necessary except for certain particular purposes, and that his motives do not have to be analyzed unless they cannot be guessed.
