Dr Paul March-Russell, lecturer for the Department of Comparative Literature, has contributed a chapter to the edited collection Gender and Short Fiction: Women’s Tales in Contemporary Britain (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature, 2018).

In this new monograph, editors: Jorge Sacido-Romero and Laura Ma Lojo-Rodríguez, explain why artistically ambitious women writers continue turning to the short story, a genre that has not yet attained the degree of literary prestige and social recognition the novel has had in the modern period.

The book is the culmination of a four-year project based at the University of Santiago de Compostela, and comprises of researchers from across the UK and Europe, of which Paul was a founding member. Paul’s chapter is titled ‘In the Company of Wolves: Feminist Fairy Tales after Angela Carter’.
