The Cambridge Introduction to the
Short Story in English
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.
