The Short Story: The Reality of Artifice
ISBN: 9780415938839 / Angielski / Miękka / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The short story is one of the most difficult types of prose to write and one of the most pleasurable to read. From Boccaccio's Decameron to The Collected Stories of Reynolds Price, Charles May gives us an understanding of the history and structure of this demanding form of fiction. Beginning with a general history of the genre, he moves on to focus on the nineteenth-century when the modern short story began to come into focus. From there he moves on to later nineteenth-century realism and early twentieth-century formalism and finally to the modern renaissance of the...

Our Very Own Adventure: Towards a Poetics of the Short Story
ISBN: 9780522858679 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our Very Own Adventure demonstrates the main convention of the short story specifically the heightened reader response that Carolyne Lee terms 'narratorial presence'. The intensity of the short story encourages readers to appropriate the fictive world, as rendered through one or more represented subjectivities in the narrative. Lee argues that this narratorial presence is the enabling effect of the tale's telling. Each chapter examines a group of stories (by authors such as William Faulkner, James Joyce, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Ray Bradbury and Alice Munro) that share basic...

Art and Commerce in the British Short Story, 1880-1950
ISBN: 9781848932289 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The short story was a commercial phenomenon which took off in the late nineteenth century and lasted through to the rise of television and film. Using a wide variety of sources, Baldwin shows how economic factors helped to dictate what authors wrote and the way they wrote it. These conditions actually helped to disseminate the fiction of nearly all the major and minor writers of the period, from Hardy and Conrad to H E Bates and V S Pritchett. He argues that contrary to Modernists' claims that financial demands of middlebrow magazines prevented the genre from developing, they actually helped...
