书籍简介

美国短篇小说：十九世纪的文学觉醒

本书收录了文学杰作——爱伦·坡、霍桑、马克·吐温、亨利·詹姆斯和伊迪丝·华顿的经典故事——以及新近发现的佳作。短篇小说如同棒球、轧棉机和汽船一样，是十九世纪美国的一项重要发明。它在这一时期涌现，展现出丰富的创新，风格和题材也多种多样，其价值至今尚未得到充分认可。

这部全新的两卷本短篇小说集内容丰富多元，涵盖范围之广，汇集了五十位不同作家的一百多篇作品，追溯了美国短篇小说的发展历程：从查尔斯·布罗克登·布朗的片段和华盛顿·欧文的草稿，到爱伦·坡的哥特式恐怖故事，再到马克·吐温的幽默小说，直至亨利·詹姆斯和伊迪丝·华顿在镀金时代的杰作。

这部文集收录了许多令人意想不到的作家，其中包括：南北战争前的黑人作家兼医生詹姆斯·麦克库恩·史密斯，他创作的《有色人种的头颅》系列讽刺了颅相学的伪科学种族主义；卢克丽霞·黑尔，这位女权主义奇幻小说《红棋女王》的作者，或许是十九世纪中期伟大的昙花一现的作家

从哥特式恐怖到边疆民间故事，从黑暗悬疑到内心心理剧，这部两卷本短篇小说集展现了一个充满文学表达和实验的世界，必将带给您惊喜和愉悦。

Summary

American Short Stories: A Literary Awakening in the 19th Century

Includes both literary masterpieces—classic stories by Poe, Hawthorne, Twain, James, and Wharton—and new rediscoveries. As much a nineteenth-century American invention as baseball, the cotton gin, and the steamboat, the short story emerged here with a range of innovation and a variety of styles and subjects that has still not been fully appreciated.

Diverse, wide-ranging, and unprecedented in its scope, this new two-volume collection gathers more than 100 stories by 50 different writers to track the development of the American short story from Charles Brockden Brown’s fragments and Washington Irving’s sketches to Poe’s gothic tales of horror to Mark Twain’s humorous stories to the Gilded Age masterpieces of Henry James and Edith Wharton.

Among the many unexpected writers in collection are: the antebellum Black writer and physician James McCune Smith, whose sketches in his ‘Heads of the Colored People’ series lampooned the pseudoscientific racism of phrenology; Lucretia Hale, the author of the feminist fantasy ‘The Queen of the Red Chessman,’ perhaps the greatest one-hit wonder of the mid-nineteenth century.

From gothic horror to frontier folk tales, dark mysteries and interior psychological dramas, this unprecedented two-volume story anthology captures a world of literary expression and experimentation that will surprise and delight.
