课程描述
基于某种原因，美国文学（如法国、爱尔兰和俄罗斯）在短篇小说方面，杰出作品一向特别丰富。在本课程中，我们将从审查作品的重要性来探讨这个领域。此外，我们也将研讨文学法则的运用及改变，以及叙事结构元素所造成的某些影响。
For some reason, American literature (like French, Irish, and Russian, among others) has been especially productive in major works in fictional forms shorter than the novel. Our task in this course will be to survey that field, by looking at particular moments of high accomplishment. We will, in addition, consider some of the ways in which literary formulae can be used and varied, and some of the impacts of elements of narrative construction.
