SHORT STORY WORLD: THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY
AMERICAN MASTERS
Descripción:
The advent of the short story in the
nineteenth century highlights the fact that writers
needed other channels of expression different from the
novel in order to pour into them a vision of experience
which does not "novelise" life into a chaptered biography
of forward (or backward) movement. In America, authors
such as Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Harte, Twain or Sarah
Orne Jewett looked at brevity as a condition of coherence,
a model of intelligibility at odds with the notion that
life is a long path which only the novel can fully represent.
