Beskrivning

This materialist study of the short story’s development in three diverse magazines reveals how, at the dawn of modernism, commercial pressures prompted modernist formal innovation in popular magazines, whilst anti-commercial opacity paradoxically formed the basis of an effective marketing strategy that appealed to elitism. Integrating methods of cultural studies with formal analyses, this study builds upon recent work challenging Andreas Huyssen’s provocative formation, the "great divide" of modernism.

"Chan's book thus applies current approaches to print and commodity culture to the critically overlooked genre of the short story, with impressive results."-Madeleine A. Vala, University of Puerto Rico, (Victorian Studies journal)
