First published in 1977, this book examines the short story, which
is one of the most widely read of all modern genres. The study
begins by examining some preliminary problems of definition before
going on to trace the emergence of what is usually meant by 'the
modern short story' and examine the various kinds of narrative from
which it derives, such as the sketch, the yarn, Marchen, parable
and fable. The final chapter considers the possibility that there
are certain structural properties belonging distinctively to the
short story. This book will be of interest to those studying
literature and creative writing.
