Beschreibung

Explores the relationship between magazine culture and the development of the modern short story form in Britain

• Foregrounds the role of magazine culture in the development of the modern short story form
• Analyses a wide range of publications, from standard illustrated popular magazines to avant-garde little magazines
• Sheds new light on well-known publications and examines others that are as yet obscure or understudied
• Explores the impact of social and publishing networks on the production, dissemination and reception of short stories
• Helps recover neglected writers/editors and cast new light on more canonical ones

This collection of original essays highlights the intertwined fates of the modern short story and periodical culture in the period 1880-1950, the heyday of magazine short fiction in Britain. Through case studies that focus on particular magazines, short stories and authors, chapters investigate the presence, status and functioning of short stories within a variety of periodical publications - highbrow and popular, mainstream and specialised, middlebrow and avant-garde. Examining the impact of social and publishing networks on the production, dissemination and reception of short stories, it foregrounds the ways in which magazines and periodicals shaped conversations about the short story form and prompted or provoked writers into developing the genre.
