The Norton Introduction to the Short Novel

The Norton Introduction to the Short Novel Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Designed with the undergraduate in mind, the anthology includes a helpful introduction by Professor Beaty that defines the short novel in contrast to the short story and the longer novel and explores the formal and thematic corollaries of this particular literary form.  Additionally, a short biographical headnote precedes each selection to prepare the reader to experience, appreciate, and understand the works as fully as possible during a first reading. A brief critical afterword follows each novel.

Synopsis:

The fifteen works collected in The Norton Introduction to the Short Novel, Third Edition, represent a wide range of periods and international voices.
