Février, Etienne. ""Le monde dans un grain de sable" : l'écriture miniaturiste de Steven Millhauser." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017TOU20131.

Full text

Abstract:

Dans un bref essai intitulé « The Ambition of the Short Story », Steven Millhauser proclame de manière volontairement provocatrice la supériorité artistique de la nouvelle sur le roman. Il s’appuie pour ce faire sur un vers du poète romantique William Blake, dont il réoriente radicalement le propos. Tandis que le poète invite à voir « un monde dans un grain de sable », Millhauser affirme qu’il est possible de voir le monde dans un grain de sable. Aux grandes fresques romanesques, Steven Millhauser préfère ainsi une écriture concise et économe, capable de transformer certains « grains de sable

Edwards, Robert. "Mythology, ideology and the contemporary American short story cycle." Thesis, University of Kent, 2016. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/55957/.

Abstract:

The present study proposes that there is an intrinsic relationship between the contemporary American short story cycle and the myth and ideology of the United States. I argue that the contemporary form of the story cycle has become the genre of choice for certain authors whose work explicitly challenges the dominant ideological discourses of Euroamerica and its underpinning mythologies. The five authors and the texts I discuss are Tim O’Brien and The Things They Carried, Julia Alvarez and How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, Gerald Vizenor and Landfill Meditation, Sherman Alexie and Ten Li

Abstract:

This thesis examines the juncture between the short story cycle form and gender politics. It explores how twentieth-century women from the United States have been using the form to represent and question gender identity. The introduction outlines commentaries on the story cycle and considers definitions of the form. It includes case studies of earlier twentieth-century cycles by American women: cycles such as Mary McCarthy's The Company She Keeps that have been passed over by critics of the form. Chapter One presents Eudora Welty's The Golden Apples as a cycle paradigm, examining conventions s

Abstract:

In this thesis I argue for a repositioning of Edith Wharton’s short stories in relation to both the twentieth century and modernism. Whilst Wharton was acclaimed for her novels, I argue that the short story, the genre in which she felt most proficient as a writer, yet is still habitually overlooked by critics, presents Wharton at her most experimental and "renovat(ive)", to use her own words. I consider how the restrictive confines of the short story, both in terms of its brevity and commercial value, particularly in relation to the magazine market, were exploited by Wharton to her own advanta

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis begins with an introductory chapter that explains the problems that short story theorists encounter when they try to define the short story genre. Part of the problem results from the lack of a definition of the short story in the Aristotelian sense. A looser, less traditional definition of literary genres helps solve some of the problem. Six short stories follow the introduction. "Billy and Me," "Queen of Hearts," "The Whiskey Man," and "Psychedelic Trash Cans" are representative of traditional short stories. "Mourning Coffee" and "Seven X Seven" might very well fit into other genr

Abstract:

"Standing in the Shadows" is a collection of short-stories that showcases the inner workings of the modern American family. Each of these six stories examines families, in one capacity or another, dealing with ups and downs, love and hatred, sadness and happiness, and everything in between. At the heart of these stories are the relationships between people, some affected by sadness and tragedy, others torn apart by secrets, all trying to cope and exist in a world full of conflict and difficulties. The characters in this selection deal with shortcomings--shortcomings of others and of themselves

Abstract:

Scholarship has firmly established that the short story cycle is well-suited to representations of community. This study considers eight North American examples of the genre: four by Canadian authors Stephen Leacock, Duncan Campbell Scott, George Elliott, and Alice Munro; and four by American authors Sarah Orne Jewett, Sherwood Anderson, John Cheever, and Joyce Carol Oates. My original idea was to discover whether there were significant differences between the Canadian and American cycles, but ultimately I became far more interested in the way that all of the cycles address community formation

Abstract:

This thesis considers the novel and the short story in the decades following the achievement of Irish independence from Britain in 1922. During these years, many Irish practitioners of the short story achieved both national and international acclaim, such that 'the Irish Short Story' was recognised as virtually a discrete genre. Writers and critics debated why Irish fiction-writers could have such success in the short story, but not similar success with their novels. Henry James had noticed a similar situation in the United |States of America in the early nineteenth century. James decided the

Abstract:

The commitment to community shared by Native American authors such as N. Scott Momaday, James Welch, and Louise Erdrich is partially evinced by each author's readiness to inscribe in novel form the values and traditions of the tribal community or communities with which he/she is closely associated. Many students of the novel will attest to its pliant, sometimes transmutable nature; nevertheless, as this study attempts to make clear, there are some reasons why Native American authors should reconsider using the novel as a means to express their tribal communities' values and traditions.

Abstract:

The mosaic novel - with its independent 'story-tiles' linking together to form a complete narrative - has the potential to act as a reflection on the periodic resurfacing of unconscious memories in the conscious lives of fictional characters. This project is an exploration of the mosaic text as a fictional analogue of involuntary memory. These concepts are investigated as they appear in traditional fairy tales and engaged with in this thesis's creative component, Sourdough and Other Stories (approximately 80,000 words), a mosaic novel comprising sixteen interconnected 'story-tiles'.

Face aux nouvelles de Raymond Carver, les variations rhétoriques d’un recueil à l’autre importent peu : la perplexité du lecteur face à des récits dont les trames narratives servent littéralement de prétextes est constante, ce qui accrédite l’idée d’un lien polémique entre action et récit, en d’autres termes entre le temps et son écriture. Cette étude, qui porte sur l’ensemble des nouvelles de l’auteur, prend pour objet cette tension. « L’écriture du temps », si elle est au sens strict un oxymore, est également l’une des prérogatives de la littérature : il s’agira, au fil de cette thèse, de pr
