More about the book
The modern short story emerged from the unique needs of a rapidly expanding America at the turn of the 19th century, where a mobile population sought new opportunities in the west. Unlike Europe, where serialized novels thrived, the American context demanded a more adaptable literary form. This evolution highlights the cultural and historical significance of short stories as a reflection of the adventurous spirit and dynamic lifestyle of the time.
