Literature 2157 - Enduring Short Stories and Novellas

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

This course constitutes an in-depth study of the difference between the short story (built on figurative techniques that are closely allied to those employed in poetry and that allow the writer to achieve remarkable intimacy and depth of meaning) and the novella (which demands the economy and exactness of a short work yet allows a fuller concentration and development of character and plot). Students explore the artistic accomplishments of such masters as Voltaire, Tolstoy, de Maupassant, Chekhov, Aleichem, Mann, Isaac Babel, A. France, Camus, Kafka, Colette, and Borges.
