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.
