Towards an ecology of the short story

A. J. Ashworth, Aleix Tura Vecino

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorial (journal)

Abstract

This editorial begins by briefly mapping the rise of environmental science fiction in recent years and noticing that short fiction studies are yet to fully embrace ecocriticism as an angle from which to study the short story form. After remarking that the Special Section of this volume of Short Fiction in Theory & Practice intends to contribute to both of these projects, the editorial provides a brief summary of the articles, stories and interview included in the section. The editorial ends with brief descriptions of the articles and book reviews included in the General Section of the issue.
