520    "The ability to construct a nuanced narrative or complex 
       character in the constrained form of the short story has 
       sometimes been seen as the ultimate test of an author's 
       creativity. 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
       à son apogée (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 Akutagawa Ryunosuke--Goyet shows that these 
       authors were able to create brilliant and successful short
       stories using the very simple 'tools of brevity' of that 
       period. In 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 periodicals. She demonstrates that, despite the 
       apparent intention of these stories to question bourgeois 
       ideals, they mostly affirmed the prejudices of their 
       readers. In doing so, her book forces us to re-think our 
       preconceptions about this 'forgotten' genre."--Publisher's
