On Visualization as an Element in Narrative Composition "Some excellent study methods and questions are given in The Writing of the Short Story, by Lewis Worthington Smith." -Joseph Berg Esenwein, Studying the Short-story: Sixteen Short-story Classics "Mr. Smith's small manual is intended as a text book. His point of view is that of the psychologist; he has undertaken to study psychologically and minutely classify the means by which the short story writer conveys the facts of his narrative and his impression." -Educational Review, Volume 26, 1903 "Lewis Worthington Smith, professor of English at Drake University…covered issues as specific as different elements of the short story - incident, character, description, and feeling - and as broad as general literary principles - beauty and truth, the organic unity of conception, the pervasive personality of the artist, and the concealment of art." -Ye Qi, Megashift from Plot to Character In American Short Fiction (1900-1941): A Critical Studying "We can only commend Mr. Smith's little book. His chapters and visualization are clear and throw a very interesting light upon the subject." -The Inlander, Volume 13, 1902

The modernist period saw a revolution in fictional practice, most famously in the work of novelists such as Joyce and Woolf. Dominic Head shows that the short story, with its particular stress on literary artifice, was a central site for modernist innovation. Working against a conventional approach and towards a more rigourous and sophisticated theory of the genre, using a framework drawn from Althusser and Bakhtin, he examines the short story's range of formal effects, such as the disunifying function of ellipsis and ambiguity. Separate chapters on Joyce, Woolf and Katherine Mansfield highlight their strategies of formal dissonance, involving a conflict of voices within the narrative. Finally, Dominic Head's challenging conclusion takes the implications of his study into the age of postmodernism.

Although Pentecostalism worldwide represents the most rapidly growing missionary movement in Christian history, only recently have scholars from within and outside the movement begun academic reflection on the mission. This volume represents the coming-of-age of emerging scholarship of various aspects of the Pentecostal mission, including theological, historical, strategic, and practical aspects. The more than twenty authors from five continents--men and women, academicians, mission leaders, and practitioners--offer exciting perspectives on the Pentecostal movement's contributions to the search for Christian unity in various global contexts.
