This anthology for university courses (general literature and also the short story) presents the short-story form through its classic texts in the English language. An unusual feature of the selection is that almost all of the thirty writers included are represented by two stories, which will
permit in-depth comparisons of stories and stylistic analysis. Half the stories are by men, half by women, and one-third of the writers are Canadian.
