''Short Stories'' was an American fiction magazine that existed between 1890 and 1959. ==Origin of ''Short Stories''== ''Short Stories'' began its existence as a literary periodical, carrying work by Rudyard Kipling, Émile Zola, Bret Harte, Ivan Turgenev and Anna Katharine Green.〔Sampson, Robert. ''Yesterday's Faces : The Solvers''. Popular Press, 1987, ISBN 978-0-87972-415-3 (pp. 1-2)〕 The magazine advertised itself with the slogan "Twenty-Five Stories for Twenty-Five Cents". After a few years, ''Short Stories'' became dominated by reprinted fiction. The magazine was sold in 1904 and eventually purchased by Doubleday, Page and Company, which in 1910 transformed ''Short Stories'' into a "quality pulp". The magazine's new editor, Harry E. Maule (1886-1971) placed an emphasis on ''Short Stories'' carrying well-written fiction; pulp magazine historian Robert Sampson states "For ''Short Stories'', like ''Adventure'' and ''Blue Book'' to follow, rose above the expedient prose of rival magazines like ivory towers thrusting up from swampland".〔 ''Short Stories'' was initially known for publishing crime fiction by authors including Max Pemberton and Thomas W. Hanshew.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Short Stories (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
