The short story as an autonomous genre has called the attention of both writers and literary critics with theoretical concerns over the last two centuries. It is a form of writing that has met the favour of readers and publishers alike: because of its very brevity it can be consumed in a short time and so come up to a reader's need of either escapist or serious literature it can be practiced like the novel according to different narrative modalities: from popular genres which satisfy the demands of the literary market to experimental writing. Finally as a self-contained form it works well at a didactic level in British and American universities for instance short stories are generally studied in Creative Writing courses. The essays included in the present volume deal with short stories belonging to various literatures in English (and not only) and focus on time which is looked at from different angles: as the theme or motif of a text as a narrative structure which can be approached in narratological terms with neat distinctions between the time of story and the time of discourse between writing time and reading time as history merging into memory and myth.
