{"product_id":"short-story","title":"Short Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe short story is one of the most difficult types of prose to write and one of the most pleasurable to read. From Boccaccio's \u003cem\u003eDecameron\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eThe Collected Stories of\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eReynolds Price\u003c\/em\u003e, Charles May gives us an understanding of the history and structure of this demanding form of fiction. Beginning with a general history of the genre, he moves on to focus on the nineteenth-century when the modern short story began to come into focus. From there he moves on to later nineteenth-century realism and early twentieth-century formalism and finally to the modern renaissance of the form that shows no signs of abating. A chronology of significant events, works and figures from the genre's history, notes and references and an extensive bibliographic essay with recommended reading round out the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235138392408,"sku":"9781138174627","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138174627_1e60b2e1-e0a2-4082-83e6-3d25bc5a9eda.jpg?v=1779170458","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/short-story","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
