| In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today. Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. It’s a reality that the term ‘modernism’ was first used for stories well over a century ago. Like fine wines they have aged remarkably well. In this volume the talents of Virginia Woolf, F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Mansfield, James Joyce are testament to the craft, imagination and literary chops these authors have brought to prose in one of its most enduring literary movements. 01 - Foundations of Fiction - Modernism - An Introduction 2 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield 3 - Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F Scott Fitzgerald 4 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf 5 - The Dead by James Joyce 6 - Here We Are by Dorothy Parker 7 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence 8 - If I Were A Man by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 9 - Tomorrow by Eugene O'Neill 10 - Friday by Zona Gale 11 - The Defense of Strikerville by Damon Runyon 12 - Rooms by Gertrude Stein 13 - The Mark on the Wall by Virginia Woolf 14 - The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield 15 - Eveline by James Joyce 16 - His Smile by Susan Glaspell 17 - A Cullenden of Virginia by Thomas Wolfe 18 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield 19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner 20 - Winter Dreams by F Scott Fitzgerald 21 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf 22 - Ariel's Triumph by Booth Tarkington 23 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis 24 - Araby by James Joyce 25 - The Ice Palace by F Scott Fitzgerald 26 - The Fly by Katherine Mansfield 27 - White Bread by Zona Gale 28 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield |
