The Facts on File Companion to the British Short Story: Companion to the British Short Story

From the Introduction :
The aim of this new book—intended as a companion to Abby Werlock’s Facts On File Companion to the American Short Story—is to provide insight into the wealth and variety of the British version of this favorite American form. The book maps out some of the main strands that have shaped the British short story and novella since the early 19th century. It provides up-todate discussions of key stories and story collections as well as discussions of the careers of all the most widely studied exponents of the genre—for example, James Joyce, Joseph Conrad, Katherine Mansfield, D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, Elizabeth Bowen, and William Trevor.
