The short story is one of the most varied and exciting genres in American literature. This collection brings together many of its finest examples from the early nineteenth century to the present. It contains a richly diverse cast of characters, including convicts, artists, farm labourers, slaves, soldiers and salesmen, witches and ghosts, families and lovers. Their stories are told by some of America's most celebrated writers (Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edith Wharton, Raymond Carver) and a few, like Fanny Fern or Charles W. Chestnutt, who may be less familiar. The collection offers a stimulating combination of acknowledged classics, including Mark Twain's hilarious 'Jim Smiley's Jumping Frog' and Edgar Allan Poe's chilling 'The Tell-Tale Heart', and some remarkable pieces that deserve a wider audience, such as Ernest Hemingway's story of miscommunication, 'Out of Season', or Lorrie Moore's tale of modern love and wit, 'Starving Again'.Kasia Boddy's introduction traces the history of the American short story and explores the changes and continuities in its forms and preoccupations. This edition also contains a chronology, explanatory and biographical notes and suggestions for further reading.

?Helst och bäst minns jag en natt för jämnt fyrti år sen, som visst också du kommer ihåg. Då var jag upprört lycklig, det vet jag historiskt, fastän jag inte längre kan föreställa mig hur sådant känns. Efteråt blev jag förstås ännu upprördare olycklig". Så skrev litteraturkritikern Klara Johanson till studierektorn, författaren och kvinnosakskvinnan Lydia Wahlström på trettiotalet. Den nämnda natten anspelar på den 18 november 1894. Kärleksmötet mellan Klara och Lydia ägde rum på Sysslomannagatan 21 i Uppsala, och kan sägas utgöra startsignalen för de två kvinnornas passionshistoria, som varade i fyra år. År 1898 upphörde kärleksrelationen med en krasch, då Lydia lämnade Klara för en annan kvinna. Om just denna passions utveckling, om sekelskifteskvinnors kärlek som inte uteslöt ett sexuellt begär, och om hur dessa kvinnors självuppfattning förändrades mot bakgrund av den homosexuella identitetens framväxt i början av 1900-talet skriver Greger Eman. Det var kvinnofrigörelsen som utgjorde förutsättningen för de nya relationerna, menar han, och som bidrog till att kvinnor som älskade kvinnor kunde utveckla en historiskt helt ny identitet. ?För mig lyste nya himlar över en ny jord?, skriver Klara Johanson. Greger Eman är redaktör för tidningen Kom Ut! och har gett ut ett urval ur Klara Johansons dagböcker.
In Symbol of Dawn Madli Puhvel presents the story of the life and times of Lydia Koidula to English-speaking readers. Koidula, who lived in the latter half of the 19th century, was the first great poet to write in Estonian. At the time, it was still considered vulgar in the Baltic provinces for a woman to have her name appear in print and her poems were published anonymously. An admiring contemporary dubbed the author with the nom de plume "Koidula", a name which in Estonian has connotations of "dawn". That name became universally recognized by Estonians who learned her patriotic poems at school. These were inspirational messages advocating ethnic pride and love of native land to a people who were just emerging from over 600 years of serfdom. In her personal life the poet was plagued by depression. In this she shared the fate of many intellectually gifted women who lived during times when intellect in women was largely deplored. Her nom de plume was well known during her lifetime, but real recognition came largely posthumously. Today she is considered Estonia's national heroine, a woman whose portrait adorned (before the adoption of Euro) Estonian currency and postage stamps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in Estonia and educated in England, Canada, and the United States, Madli Puhvel holds a doctorate from the University of California. Besides her academic career as a research scientist and professor of medicine at UCLA she has cultivated an interest in literature, history, and biography.
