The Cambridge Introduction to the Short Story in English（ISBN=9780521681124） pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

The short story has become an increasingly important genre since

the mid-nineteenth century. Complementing The Cambridge

Introduction to the American Short Story, this book examines the

development of the short story in Britain and other

English-language literatures. It considers issues of form and style

alongside - and often as part of - a broader discussion of

publishing history and the cultural contexts in which the short

story has flourished and continues to flourish. In its structure

the book provides a chronological survey of the form, usefully

grouping writers to show the development of the genre over time.

Starting with Dickens and Kipling, the chapters cover key authors

from the past two centuries and up to the present day. The focus on

form, literary history, and cultural context, together with the

highlighting of the greatest short stories and their authors, make

this a stimulating and informative overview for all students of

English literature.
