課程描述
基於某種原因，美國文學（如法國、愛爾蘭和俄羅斯）在短篇小說方面，傑出作品一向特別豐富。在本課程中，我們將從審查作品的重要性來探討這個領域。此外，我們也將研討文學法則的運用及演變，以及敘事結構元素所造成的某些影響。
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.
