Description

Explore the history and structure of one of the most demanding forms of fiction. In The Short Story: The Reality of Artifice, Charles May provides a deep look into a genre that is as difficult to write as it is pleasurable to read. Part of the Genres in Context series from Routledge, this book offers a comprehensive guide for students and readers interested in literary criticism. May begins with a general history of the genre, tracing its development from Boccaccio's Decameron to the collected stories of Reynolds Price. The text focuses on the nineteenth century, when the modern short story first came into focus, and continues through late nineteenth-century realism. Readers will also learn about early twentieth-century formalism and the modern renaissance of the form. This book serves as an essential resource for understanding how the short story has evolved through different eras of literary history.
