| 520 | _a"American Short Stories" by Charles Sears Baldwin is a collection of selected stories and critical essays on the short story genre, written in the early 20th century. The compilation aims to showcase the evolution of the American short story, exploring its development from meandering anecdotes to a distinct and cohesive literary form. The collection features a variety of tales from notable authors such as Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe, showcasing diverse themes and styles. The opening of the volume outlines Baldwin's intentions and the historical context of the American short story. He emphasizes that the book is not about collecting the "best" stories but rather tracing the progression of the genre. Baldwin discusses the shift in literary norms in America and highlights the importance of Edgar Allan Poe's contributions to the short story form. He notes the influences from both domestic and international literature while setting the stage for the specific narratives to come, leading to an understanding of how the American narrative style has developed distinctly over time.
