Critical Survey of Short Fiction (7 Volume Set)

History & Criticism

This annotated bibliography brings together most of the criticism on the important European writers of short fiction. These writers have attempted to master the short story, and, as a result, to generate more interest in this frequently neglected form. By scanning the annotations, one can get an idea of the themes and techniques most commonly used by European short story writers and thus discover areas of research not previously explored by critics. One can also determine which writers and stories have been most neglected by critics and which are most in need of further analysis and study. A number of general sources follow the informative introduction. This general section includes entries under the headings 'General Biographical and Critical Studies' followed by entries keyed to specific short stories, listed in alphabetical order.

Twentieth century European short story: An annotated bibliography (The Magill bibliographies)

<p>"I Am Your Brother": Short Story Studies is a study of the short story as a genre, written both for academic and general readers. After establishing the origins of the short story in myth, the book examines issues of genre and history, discusses the difference between the short story and the novel, and analyzes the importance of obsession, mystery, and metaphoric motivation in the form. Chapters also are devoted to mythic perception in the short fiction of John Steinbeck and Bernard Malamud, love and separateness in the short stories of Eudora Welty, and the birth of the modern short story by Anton Chekhov. The final two chapters are extended discussions of the short stories of Raymond Carver and Alice Munro.</p>
