His book makes a convincing case for the evolution of short fiction into a self-conscious and modern genre, with its own techniques and imperatives, separate from those of the novel.English fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismLiterary formHistory19th centuryShort stories, EnglishHistory and criticismShort storyEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Literary formHistoryShort stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.Short story.823/.0109Killick Tim1544618MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782214403321British short fiction in the early nineteenth century3799008UNINA
