The short story as an autonomous genre has called the attention of
both writers and literary critics with theoretical concerns over
the last two centuries. It is a form of writing that has met the
favour of readers and publishers alike: because of its very
brevity, it can be consumed in a short time, and so come up to a
reader's need of either escapist or serious literature; it can be
practiced, like the novel, according to different narrative
modalities: from popular genres, which satisfy the demands of the
literary market, to experimental writing. Finally, as a
self-contained form, it works well at a didactic level; in British
and American universities, for instance, short stories are
generally studied in Creative Writing courses. The essays included
in the present volume deal with short stories belonging to various
literatures in English (and not only), and focus on time, which is
looked at from different angles: as the theme, or motif, of a text;
as a narrative structure which can be approached in narratological
terms, with neat distinctions between the time of story and the
time of discourse, between writing time and reading time; as
history, merging into memory and myth.
