Providing easy access to information on nearly 450 short
stories, this unique guide surveys a wide spectrum of world
literature, canonical works, and contemporary fiction. Librarians
and teachers will find multiple purposes for this expertly-compiled
resource, which can be employed in much the same way as a standard
bibliography. Educators will appreciate the concise annotations,
arranged alphabetically by author, that form the core of this work.
Insightful critical statements synthesize plot summaries and
identify the thematic content of each short story.
A theme guide utilizes the nearly 100 theme headings matching
those at the start of each entry, allowing the user to quickly
locate story titles on related themes and construct reading lists
based on individual interests and needs. Another component designed
to aid librarians offers one bibliography that lists the
anthologies from which the stories are drawn (Works Cited) and one
comprised of a number of recent anthologies that can be adapted for
the classroom (Further Reading). In addition to the theme index,
the general subject and author indexes make this a user-friendly
and invaluable resource.
