The Society for the Study of the American Short Story consists of serious researchers of all ages, from graduate students, to the professorial ranks, to senior scholars who have continued their work into retirement. As a collective organization, their scholarship covers the historical record of short fiction from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. Their volumes have appeared from a spectrum of publishers, most of them from university presses but others from commercial houses, independent media, and reference companies. They utilize an impressive range of critical and theoretical approaches from standard historical and biographical studies, to explorations of issues of race and ethnicity, to contemporary social configurations as well as penetrating psychological studies that challenge conventional understandings of the working of the human mind. It is an impressive body of intellectual work, one that deserves to be fully articulated and understood by the literary community.
