:I hadn't known that; but Googling turns up [http://www.law.ucla.edu/docs/khan__copyright_piracy_jle_2007.pdf this paper], which looks interesting but which I don't have time to read now... anyway, it says that "the biographer of Edgar Allan Poe contends that Poe switched to short story format because unfair foreign competition meant he was unable to profit from the market for novel."
