520  1   $a"In this book, Palumbo-DeSimone considers the
         place of American women's short fiction in
         nineteenth-century literary and popular culture. Resisting
         the narrow focus on content prevalent in feminist criticism,
         the book instead explores the long-overlooked role of
         short-story structure in women's popular fiction.".
520  8   $a"The study reveals how the female world
         ultimately defined what constituted a "story" for
         nineteenth-century women, and presents a way for today's
         reader to approach these sometimes puzzling works of short
         fiction."--BOOK JACKET.
