Beschreibung:
Reingard M. Nischik is professor and chair of American Literature at the University of Konstanz in Germany. She has published extensively on Canadian, American, and comparative literature. A three-time winner of the Best Book Award of the Margaret Atwood Society, she is one of the most renowned and productive scholars of Canadian literature studies internationally.
In 2013, the Nobel Prize for Literature was for the first time awarded to a short story writer, and to a Canadian, Alice Munro. The award focused international attention on a genre that had long been thriving in Canada, particularly since the 1960s. This book traces the development and highlights of the English-language Canadian short story from the late 19th century up to the present. The history as well as the theoretical approaches to the genre are covered, with in-depth examination of exemplary stories by prominent writers such as Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro.
