The Black American Short Story in the 20th Century by
ISBN: 1283903377Publication Date: 1977-01-01This volume is a collection of essays on black short stories written between 1998 and 1976. It aims to say something about the black short story as a genre and the development of the racial situation in America as well. The primary aim is to introduce the reader to this long neglected genre of black fiction. In contrast to the black novel, the short story has hardly been given extensive criticism, let alone serious attention. The individual essays of this collection aim at presenting new points of critical orientation in the hope of reviving and fostering further discussions. They provide a variety of approaches, and a great diversity of critical points of view. -

An Organon of Life Knowledge by
ISBN: 9783837646429Publication Date: 2019-09-17Can fiction teach us how to live? This study offers a fresh take on the North American short story, exploring how the genre has engaged in the construction and circulation of life knowledge. Echoing the resurgence of short-story scholarship in recent years, it contributes to the growing field of literature and knowledge studies. Drawing on stories from the late nineteenth century to the present by authors such as Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eudora Welty, Junot D¡az, and Alice Munro, Michael Basseler examines how knowledge about life and how to live it is generically constituted and, vice versa, how literary genres such as the short story are embedded in broader cultural frameworks of knowledge production.
