<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Short story''' is a genre of [[literature]] that typically can be read in one sitting. With a tight and compact narrative, short stories focus on a self-contained incident to evoke a single effect or mood.<br />
<br />
== Definition ==<br />
A '''short story''' is a brief work of [[fiction]], usually written in prose and running 1,500 to 30,000 words in length. The literary roots of the short story can be found in oral storytelling traditions, such as [[anecdotes]], [[myths]], and [[legends]]. The modern short story developed in the early 19th century.<br />
<br />
== Characteristics ==<br />
Short stories tend to be less complex than [[novels]]. Typically a short story focuses on one incident, has a single [[plot]], a single setting, a small number of characters, and covers a short period of time.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The short story has changed as societies have evolved. In the Middle Ages, the short story existed in the form of [[folk tales]] and [[fables]] passed down orally from one generation to the next. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the short story evolved into a more sophisticated literary form, as authors like [[Edgar Allan Poe]] and [[Nathaniel Hawthorne]] experimented with its form and content.<br />
<br />
== Short Story Writers ==<br />
Famous short story writers include [[Edgar Allan Poe]], [[Guy de Maupassant]], [[Anton Chekhov]], and [[Ernest Hemingway]]. These writers have significantly influenced the development and evolution of the short story genre with their various styles and themes.<br />
<br />
== Short Story Collections ==<br />
Short stories are often collected together and published in a single volume. These collections may be by a single author or they may be anthologized by theme or subject.<br />
