Excerpt from Karl Gutzkows Short Stories: A Study in the Technique of Narration The author has been actuated during the preparation of this work by the belief that there is a definite place for a critical survey of Karl Gutzkow's short stories and he modestly hopes to draw some measure of attention to this writer's less comprehensive but still deserving efforts. He is desirous also of expressing his gratitude to Professor Otto Eduard Lessing of the University of Illinois under whose guidance the work was done; to Professor Julius Goebel of the University of Illinois for numerous suggestions and valuable assistance; and to Professor Lawrence M. Price of the University of California for reading the manuscript and for offering many helpful criticisms.
