By Francis J. Hannigan

Book Overview

A single indispensable guide to short fiction from 1900 to 1914. A scholar's compass and companion. Compiled by Francis J. Hannigan, The Standard Index Of Short Stories, 1900-1914 serves as a short story index for early 20th century literature, bringing together references across magazines and collections to illuminate the circulation of 1900s fiction. It functions as a fiction anthology reference and a dependable bibliographic resource - a compact literary research guide that steers scholars and librarians through publishing histories, while also acting as a comprehensive story index for casual readers. It doubles as a reading group resource and a way for readers to locate a classic short stories collection; for historians and collectors it is an American short stories guide to transatlantic publication and reception. Significant for mapping a pivotal era, the index charts the plural voices of Edwardian literature and the wider currents of 1900s fiction on both sides of the Atlantic. It is as useful to the casual reader assembling a period selection as it is to the academic tracing publication pathways: a practical bibliographic instrument that helps surface overlooked authors, settle attribution questions and reveal how short forms circulated in magazines and collections. Handy for teaching, annotation, collection-building and archival work, the volume doubles as a reading companion for book groups exploring thematic playlists of classic short stories. Practical in use and durable in value, it suits quick look-ups and prolonged study alike. Practical for students, pleasurable for general readers and collectors. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether collector, librarian or reader drawn to the compact power of 1900s fiction, this comprehensive story index rewards curiosity and steady use.
