Inhaltsangabe:

THE PORTABLE AMERICAN REALISM READER is a comprehensive anthology of the American short story between the Civil War and WWI. During this pivotal period of America's international emergence, Realism shaped the literature of the age and left an indelible and far-reaching influence on twentieth-century American and world literature. Realist writers, represented by Mark Twain, Henry James, Stephen Crane, Kate Chopin and Willa Cather among others, sought to paint "life as it is, human feelings in their true proportions and relations" (in William Dean Howell's famous phrase). THE PORTABLE AMERICAN REALISM READER includes 47 stories by some 30 writers, as well as incisive introductory essays by Professors Nagel and Quirk.
