The earliest stories are Rebecca Harding Davis' naturalistic \"Life in the Iron Mills\" (published in 1861 and predating ﾉmile Zola's \u003ci\u003eGerminal \u003c\/i\u003eby almost 25 years) and Louisa May Alcott's semiautobiographical tale \"Transcendental Wild Oats\" (1873). The most recent ones are Zora Neale Hurston's \"Sweat,\" an ironic tale of a failed marriage, published in 1926, and \"Sanctuary\" (1930), Nella Larsen's gripping and controversial tale of contested loyalty. \u003cbr\u003e In between is a grand cavalcade of superbly crafted fiction by Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Djuna Barnes, Susan Glaspell and Edith Wharton. Brief biographies of each of the writers are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Candace Ward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486287769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486287768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.18w x 0.53d","brand":"Candace Ward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050824954111,"sku":"9780486287768","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81c66441-ba2c-4502-9bde-32f248f39bfc.jpg?v=1685009460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/great-short-stories-by-american-candace-ward-9780486287768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
