Some of my own preferred stylists are conspicuously absent; and, although for the most part I have included those whom within prescribed limits I place first, I regretfully record the absentees. The short story is the literary medium that supersedes all others in A merica; one small volume is a container too exiguous for even its chief authors. According to the dominant principle working throughout the series of which this book is a unit, the writers discussed should be living or at least contemporary. I f, by request of the publishers. Jack London and O. Henry were to be replevined from the famous dead, I was of the opinion that Richard Harding Davis should not be omitted. Henry James, from a literary point of view, would precede any of these three. For reasons later forthcoming, however, he is not among those present.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines writings by notable short story authors who were alive and writing from approximately 1900 to roughly 1920, with some consideration given to their work both before and after these dates. In addition to providing biographical context and historical analysis of each author's work, it delves into this literary genre and its evolution during a time of major societal change in the United States. The author discusses how these writers' work exemplified the transition in the short story, both thematically and structurally, as it moved beyond local color toward an increased focus on psychological realism and symbolism. By examining the national and international influences on these authors, this study illuminates America's place in the larger world of literature and its lasting impact on the form and content of the short story genre.
