Yet during the time when the short story was at its most popular-the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries-even the greatest writers followed strict generic conventions that were far from subtle. This expanded and updated translation of Florence Goyet's influential La Nouvelle, 1870-1925: Description d'un genre a? son apoge?e (Paris, 1993) is the only study to focus exclusively on this classic period across different continents. Ranging through French, English, Italian, Russian and Japanese writing-particularly the stories of Guy de Maupassant, Henry James, Giovanni Verga, Anton Chekhov and Akutaga?wa Ryu?nosuke-Goyet shows that these authors were able tocreate brilliant and successful short stories using the very simple 'tools of brevity' of that period. ln this challenging and far-reaching study, Goyet looks at classic short stories in the context in which they were read at the time: cheap newspapers and higher end periodicills. She demonstrates that, despite the apparent intention of these stories to question bourgeois ideals, they mostly affirmed the prejudices of their readers. ln doing so, her book forces us to re-think our preconceptions about this 'forgotten' genre. 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterary form$xHistory 610 $aliterary theory 610 $awritten literature 610 $ashort story 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterary form$xHistory. 676 $a801.95 700 $aGoyet$b Florence$0601260 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132226203321 996 $aThe classic short story, 1870-1925$92239478 997 $aUNINA
