The house of fiction; an anthology of the short story, with commentary

Caroline Gordon (Editor), Allen Tate (Editor)
"This book differs from other short story anthologies in that it is based on the assumption that fiction is an art closely allied to painting and that, as in painting, there are certain 'constants' or secrets of technique which not only appear in the works of all masters of the craft but which have been handed down from master to master throughout the ages."--Preface
