The Nineteenth-Century French Short Story : Masterpieces in Miniature Hardback
by Allan Pasco
Part of the Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature series
Hardback
Description
The 19th-Century French Short Story, by eminent scholar, Allan H.
Pasco, seeks to offer a more comprehensive view of the definition, capabilities, and aims of short stories.
The book examines general instances of the genre specifically in 19th-century France by recognizing their cultural context, demonstrating how close analysis of texts effectively communicates their artistry, and arguing for a distinction between middling and great short stories.
Where previous studies have examined the writers of short stories individually, The 19th-Century French Short Story takes a broader lens to the subject, and looks at short story writers as they grapple with the artistic, ethical, and social concerns of their day.
Making use of French short story masterpieces, with reinforcing comparisons to works from other traditions, this book offers the possibility of a more adequate appreciation of the under-valued short story genre.
