The authors highlighted are: Sherwood Anderson, Anton Chekhov, Joseph Conrad, William Faulkner, Henry James, James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann, Katherine Mansfield, and Frank O'Connor. The purpose of this anthology is to enable the reader to know the authors as well as the stories. If his acquaintance is to be a first-hand, original one, it is not enough to be told about the author, though some biographical facts are useful. He must have an opportunity to read several stories and discover for himself the qualities they have in common which reveal the author's literary personality, his particular sensibilities and view of life. Each of nine major modern short-story writers is here represented by three stories. The tenth, Conrad, is represented by two, simply because his best stories are so very long.
