A.E. Coppard
A new
collection of short stories from an English master, edited and with a preface
by acclaimed author Russell Banks
Originating in the folktale and with an occasional infusion
of gothic horror or fantasy, A. E. Coppard’s stories still feel fresh and
surprising today. Coppard came to the short story later in life but left an
indelible mark on it. Staunch in his belief that the short story was a distinctive
form with little relation to the novel, he wove his tales out of the substance
of life in the English countryside, with its memorable and distinctive
characters.
Reissued with a new preface from award-winning and
bestselling author Russell Banks, and including classic tales like “The Black
Dog,” “The Handsome Lady,” and “The Higgler,” The Hurly Burly restores
this enormously important writer to the position he deserves and introduces him
to a new generation of readers.
