Descripción:
The advent of the short story in the nineteenth century highlights the fact that writers needed other channels of expression different from the novel in order to pour into them a vision of experience which does not "novelise" life into a chaptered biography of forward (or backward) movement. In America, authors such as Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Harte, Twain or Sarah Orne Jewett looked at brevity as a condition of coherence, a model of intelligibility at odds with the notion that life is a long path which only the novel can fully represent.
