About this product
Product Information
This collection explores the history and development of the anglophone short story since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Ranging across texts from different parts of the English-speaking world, it studies the form in its many guises and venues of publication. Why have writers of so many nationalities and dispositions found the short story amenable to experimentation and discovery? What is the history and origin of the modern short story, and what has been the role of the publishing business, of academic criticism, of the Creative Writing 'industry', and of the digital revolution in shaping and disseminating it over the past two centuries? This collection of innovative essays by new and established scholars explores these and other questions, addressing stories from around the world, and considering their relationship to place, identity, history and genre.

Reviews
This collection brilliantly reconciles the traditional text/context divide in short story criticism, showcasing a wide variety of approaches to a wide variety of material. You will find Edgar Allan Poe, D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf here, but also Jhumpa Lahiri, Sam Selvon and Benjamin Franklin; anthologies and little magazines, but also short-shorts and Kindle Singles; genre and institutional history, but also eco-criticism and disability studies. This rich and diverse collection of essays will be essential reading for anyone interested in the English-language short story.
