Table of ContentsIntroduction, Tim Killick; Chapter 1 Overview, Tim Killick; Chapter 2 Washington Irving, Tim Killick; Chapter 3 Improving Stories, Tim Killick; Chapter 4 Regionalism and Folklore, Tim Killick; Chapter 5 Conclusion Short Fiction in the 1830s, Tim Killick;Reviews'Tim Killick's British Short Fiction in the Early Nineteenth Century: The Rise of the Tale is historicism at its best... poised and judicious throughout.' Victorian Studies 'Killick's careful and extensive research makes an important contribution to our understanding of the development of short fiction, the dynamics of the British publishing market in the early nineteenth century, and the importance of genre as a vehicle for the professional author, and thus challenges existing, mostly hostile, critical evaluations of early nineteenth-century short fiction. ... for those interested in the genealogy of short fiction or in the literary scene of the early nineteenth century, this closely argued study has much to offer.' English Studies 'Tim Killick's book offers a refreshing spin on the 'rise of' scenarios familiar to scholars of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature - partly in its careful, bibliographic approach and partly by accounting for the rise of something other than the novel. That something is the 'tale,' or what Killick more generally refers to as 'short fiction': a loose, baggy designation that encompasses tales, short stories, sketches, and essays. Killick's aim is to 'give a more complete picture of early nineteenth-century short fiction'. And while providing such a picture means confronting and sorting through the category's inherent messiness, his approach, which is statistically grounded and historically centered, is up to the challenge.'
