520 _a"On Books and Arts" by Sir Frederick Wedmore is a collection of critical essays written in the late 19th century. The book compiles Wedmore's contributions to various reviews and periodicals, primarily focusing on literary and artistic topics, including discussions on prominent authors and artists of his time. Readers can expect an exploration of the essence and intricacies of the short story format, as well as reflections on significant figures like Balzac, George Eliot, and their contributions to literature and art. The opening of the collection sets the stage for a deep dive into the art of storytelling, particularly the short story, and challenges preconceived notions about its nature. Wedmore contrasts the perceived simplicity of the short story with its sophisticated demands on both writers and readers. He suggests that it is mistakenly undervalued compared to novels and highlights the artistic freedom it offers, encouraging readers to appreciate its unique qualities. As the introduction unfolds, Wedmore poses questions regarding the nature of storytelling, emphasizing the short story's distinctiveness and depth, all while engaging with various literary traditions and contemporary practices.
