Ranging across texts from different parts of the English-speaking world, it studies the form in its many guises and venues of publication. Why have writers of so many nationalities and dispositions found the short story amenable to experimentation and discovery? What is the history and origin of the modern short story, and what has been the role of the publishing business, of academic criticism, of the Creative Writing 'industry', and of the digital revolution in shaping and disseminating it over the past two centuries? This collection of innovative essays by new and established scholars explores these and other questions, addressing stories from around the world, and considering their relationship to place, identity, history and genre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNew critical perspectives on the English-language short story by established scholars and new voicesProvides an international perspective on the formShowcases a wide range of critical approaches and perspectives, including Book History, genre criticism, postcolonial theory, queer studies, feminist criticism, war writing, disability studies, Creative Writing, and ecocriticism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Delaney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399546775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399546775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.82d","brand":"Paul Delaney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767335047423,"sku":"9781399546775","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_590ac660-cd21-4234-87a6-6760475aea31.jpg?v=1744169515","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-edinburgh-companion-to-the-paul-delaney-9781399546775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
