Trade Review
"The short story and the modern magazine grew up together, but the story of their mutual emergence has been slow to develop. At last, here is a volume that delves into this culturally vibrant symbiosis on all levels, from game-changing theoretical accounts to sharp, empirical micro-histories. This book is a must-have for short story experts and periodical studies scholars indeed for anyone fascinated by the interactions between emerging media and cultural forms. " -Patrick Collier, Ball State University
