Book excerpt: In this anthology, Dr Pitcher has illustrated and partially defined the beginnings of short fiction in America in the period before the emergence of our modern understanding of the short story. These beginnings are to be found in the gradual coming together of forms such as anecdote, fable, tall-tale and sentimental story with the increasingly diverse aspirations, images, character types, and historical incidents of a people linked by language and culture to Britain and Europe. Volume One of the anthology has the ISBN 0-7734-7842-6.

Download or read book The Nineteenth-Century French Short Story written by Allan H. Pasco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 19th-Century French Short Story, by eminent scholar, Allan H. Pasco, seeks to offer a more comprehensive view of the definition, capabilities, and aims of short stories. The book examines general instances of the genre specifically in 19th-century France by recognizing their cultural context, demonstrating how close analysis of texts effectively communicates their artistry, and arguing for a distinction between middling and great short stories. Where previous studies have examined the writers of short stories individually, The 19th-Century French Short Story takes a broader lens to the subject, and looks at short story writers as they grapple with the artistic, ethical, and social concerns of their day. Making use of French short story masterpieces, with reinforcing comparisons to works from other traditions, this book offers the possibility of a more adequate appreciation of the under-valued short story genre.

Download or read book Origins of the American Short Story written by Wolfgang Hochbruck and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origins of the American Short Story is an anthology of prose texts that first appeared in various American magazines in the latter half of the 18th century. These magazines, most of them short lived, represented a struggling literary culture that began to flourish only later in the next century. In selecting the stories included here, the editors concentrated on three key features: the use of American topics, settings, and characters; the evidence of artistic form in shaping the narrative; and the potential for multiple, even ambiguous readings. In addition to these features, the anthology reveals how various types of short prose, such as the tale, sketch, historiette, and anecdote, were crucial in the formation of the American short story, especially as it was later developed in the works of Irving, Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville.

Download or read book Liminality and the Short Story written by Jochen Achilles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the short story, one of the widest taught genres in English literature, from an innovative methodological perspective. Both liminality and the short story are well-researched phenomena, but the combination of both is not frequent. This book discusses the relevance of the concept of liminality for the short story genre and for short story cycles, emphasizing theoretical perspectives, methodological relevance and applicability. Liminality as a concept of demarcation and mediation between different processual stages, spatial complexes, and inner states is of obvious importance in an age of global mobility, digital networking, and interethnic transnationality. Over the last decade, many symposia, exhibitions, art, and publications have been produced which thematize liminality, covering a wide range of disciplines including literary, geographical, psychological and ethnicity studies. Liminal structuring is an essential aspect of the aesthetic composition of short stories and the cultural messages they convey. On account of its very brevity and episodic structure, the generic liminality of the short story privileges the depiction of transitional situations and fleeting moments of crisis or decision. It also addresses the moral transgressions, heterotopic orders, and forms of ambivalent self-reflection negotiated within the short story's confines. This innovative collection focuses on both the liminality of the short story and on liminality in the short story.

Book excerpt: Not Pretty, but Precious; And Other Short Stories is a compelling anthology that showcases the diversity and richness of 19th-century American literature, juxtaposing various literary styles from realism to romanticism. This collection, embracing an array of themes from the mundanities of everyday life to the complexities of human emotions, offers a panoramic view of a transformative era in American letters. The anthology stands out for its inclusion of works that, while may not adhere to the conventional standards of 'beauty,' are invaluable for their depth and authenticity. The range of voices and narratives presented in the collection highlights the multifaceted nature of American society and the evolving literary landscape of the time. The contributing authors to Not Pretty, but Precious represent a cross-section of 19th-century American literary talent, encompassing both well-known figures and those obscured by time. The diversity of backgrounds, from frontline Civil War correspondents to pioneering women writers, underscores the varied experiences and perspectives that shaped the literary output of the era. This anthology aligns with several key cultural and literary movements of the 19th century, including transcendentalism and early feminism, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the period.

Through its eclectic mix of stories, the anthology invites readers to appreciate the beauty in the 'unpretty,' encouraging a deeper engagement with the texts and their historical context. This collection offers a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of emotions, themes, and narratives, fostering a richer appreciation for the complexity and breadth of 19th-century American literature. For scholars, students, and aficionados alike, this anthology is a valuable addition to any literary collection, promising insights and discussions that are as relevant today as they were over a century ago.
