The difference between a short story and a novel is more than one of length, Matthews argues in this influential 1901 work. The short story carries a “unity of impression,” a totality, that the novel cannot, and requires more precise language. Matthews peppers the volume with examples from Boacaccio, Poe, Hawthorne, de Maupassant, Stevenson, Henry James, and others.
