Edward J. O’Brien selects twenty stories from American periodicals and places them alongside his assessment of the short story’s development during 1916. The collection includes work by Gertrude Atherton, Theodore Dreiser, Irvin S. Cobb, Fannie Hurst, Mary Lerner and other contemporary writers.
Its varied narratives explore family relationships, memory, work, aspiration, loss and the unexpected pressures of ordinary life. The accompanying yearbook adds critical summaries, a roll of honor, publication records, a necrology, magazine comparisons and an extensive story index. The complete volume retains all twenty selections and the full yearbook; its copyright is dated 1917.
