520 _a"Masterpieces of the Masters of Fiction" by William Dudley Foulke is a collection of literary critiques and reflections, likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores a selection of outstanding works from various esteemed authors throughout literary history, offering insights on the merits and nuances of each piece. Through Foulke's considerations, readers can expect to gain a greater appreciation for classic literature, with discussions that balance both admiration and critique. The opening of this collection outlines the author's intention to revisit and evaluate significant fictional works he has encountered throughout his literary journey. Foulke shares his process of selecting notable narratives from renowned authors such as Rabelais and Cervantes, among others, aiming to provide a balanced perspective on their stories and thematic significance. He reflects on the continuum of literary excellence, suggesting that time alters one's impressions of these works, and sets the stage for a deep dive into each selected narrative—beginning with Rabelais’ jovial "Gargantua," characterized by its humorous and fantastical elements. Through this introduction, Foulke further engages the reader's curiosity about the included masterpieces and the unique insights he offers regarding their historical and artistic relevance.
