| | Short story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Both of these books are composed of individual short stories (which range from farce or humorous anecdotes to well-crafted literary fictions) set within a larger narrative story (a frame story), although the frame tale device was not adopted by all writers. | | | Two ancient forms of short stories which did not exist within a larger narrative format are the fable and the anecdote. | | | Modern short stories emerged as their own genre in the early 19th century. |

| | In the Middle Ages, the short story took the forms of the beast fable and the exemplum, which contained morals, and the fabliau, which was a bawdy tale written in verse. | | | Edgar Allan Poe was the first to establish rules for the short story: his concept values unities of mood, time, space and action, and stipulates that a story reach for only one effect—an effect determined in advance by the author, and reflected in all events of the story and every word of the composition. | | | The short story has existed for thousands of years; one of the earliest known short story collections is Tales of the Magicians, which originated in Egypt four to six thousand years ago. |

| | In one story we are going to read, "Barn Burning" by William Faulkner, the character of Abner, a violent and harsh man, is variously described as being like a wolf, a wasp, of having qualities like iron and tin and blood, as well as having a fondness for fire. | | | A writer imagines a story to be happening in a place that is rooted in his or her mind. | | | This angle of vision, the point of view from which the people, events, and details of a story are viewed, is important to consider when reading a story. |

| | The first page, or paragraph, of a Gothic differs enormously from the beginning of a Western, and neither could be mistaken for the first page of a romance, a fantasy, or a sword-and-sorcery adventure, all of which differ greatly from a story of hard science and technology or from a children's book. | | | The readers of Analog would be very angry if they found a sword-and-sorcery tale in their magazine, and while Ellery Queen's Mystery prints science fiction maybe once a year, that sf story has to be an sf detective story. | | | Most short stories work on some variation of the following (so do most novels, but the novel works at a different speed): |
