Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Stories of the New America The purpose of this book of short stories of modern American life is twofold. First, these narratives give an interpretation of certain great forces and movements in the life of this age. All the authors represented are especially quali fied to describe with force and feeling some phase of contemporary life. Thinking people everywhere real ize that it is not enough to place before young folks the bare facts in regard to community and national life. The heart must be warmed, the feelings must be stirred, before the Will can be aroused to noble action in any great movement. The first aim of this book, then, is to help to place clearly before young people the ideals of America through the medium of literature that will grip the attention and quicken the Will to action. Second, librarians have stated that there are very few compilations of modern short stories of interest and significance with which to meet the needs of young people Who turn to the libraries for help in reading. It is hoped that this book may supply the need of libraries and homes for a book of live and valuable short stories.

Book Synopsis The Classic Short Story, 1870-1925 by : Florence Goyet
Download or read book The Classic Short Story, 1870-1925 written by Florence Goyet and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to construct a nuanced narrative or complex character in the constrained form of the short story has sometimes been seen as the ultimate test of an author's creativity. Yet during the time when the short story was at its most popular - the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - even the greatest writers followed strict generic conventions that were far from subtle. This expanded and updated translation of Florence Goyet's influential La Nouvelle, 1870-1925: Description d'un genre à son apogée (Paris, 1993) is the only study to focus exclusively on this classic period across different continents. Ranging through French, English, Italian, Russian and Japanese writing - particularly the stories of Guy de Maupassant, Henry James, Giovanni Verga, Anton Chekhov and Akutagawa Ry?nosuke - Goyet shows that these authors were able to create brilliant and successful short stories using the very simple 'tools of brevity' of that period. In this challenging and far-reaching study, Goyet looks at classic short stories in the context in which they were read at the time: cheap newspapers and higher-end periodicals. She demonstrates that, despite the apparent intention of these stories to question bourgeois ideals, they mostly affirmed the prejudices of their readers. In doing so, her book forces us to re-think our preconceptions about this 'forgotten' genre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Stories There have been stories, short or long, ever since there have been men, or else the human race would have died Of weariness before it had got well started. Men must have always amused themselves by telling stories, and the earliest forms of literature usually are stories of some sort, legends, fables, or myths. But in the litera tures that we commonly know they find their earliest form in verse. Verse is almost always earlier in literature than prose. There are vari ous reasons for this which need not be mentioned, but Whatever the reason, the fact is that those longer stories that we call novels and the shorter stories that we generally call a short story, meaning not merely a story that is short, but rather an especial kind Of story, these are new in the literature Of the world. There is always fiction, and for many centuries there has been prose fiction Of a sort, but novels as we under stand them to-day began practically in the middle of the eighteenth century, and short stories even later.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Short Stories of 1919, and the Yearbook of the American Short Story NO American can hope to run a journal, win public Office, successfully advertise a soap or write a popular novel who does not insist upon the idealistic basis Of his country. A peculiar sort Of ethical rapture has earned the term American. And the reason is probably at least in part the fact that no land has ever sprung so nakedly as ours from a direct and consciously material impulse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Best Short Stories of 1917: And the Yearbook of the American Short Story A year ago, in the introduction to The Best Short Stories Of I pointed out that the American short story cannot be reduced to a literary formula, because the art in which it finds its concrete embodiment is a growing art. The critic, when he approaches American literature, cannot regard it as he can regard any foreign literature. Setting aside the question Of whether our cosmopolitan population, with its widely different kinds of racial heritage, is at an advantage or a disadvantage because of its conflicting traditions, we must accept the variety in substance and attempt to find in it a new kind Of national unity, hitherto unknown in the history Of the world. The message voiced in President Wilson's words on several occasions during the past year is a true re flection Of the message implicit in American literature. Various in substance, it finds its unity in the new freedom Of democracy, and English and French, German and Slav, Italian and Scandinavian bring to the common melting-pot ideals which are fused in a national unity Of democratic utterance.
