The Birth of the Global Short Story
Instructor: Milan Terlunen
For this class, students read short stories from around the world covering the period 1800-1920. They also explored archives of 19th-century periodicals, and created their own digital editions of a forgotten or never-before-translated story they uncovered there. These editions include explanatory notes, interpretive and historical essays, public outreach strategies and creative responses (e.g. visual art, interactive fiction).
