Abstract

"The short stories of Hector Hugh Munro, better known by his pen name Saki, have remained in print continuously for over a hundred years. This collection is the first of its kind to present his stories as they were originally published in newspapers and magazines, preserving their internal consistency and contemporary references lost in revisions for The Chronicles of Clovis and subsequent collected editions. A trove of annotations and carefully sourced bibliographical information illuminates the Edwardian context behind the thirteen selected stories, of which three ('Mrs. Pendercoet's Lost Identity', 'The Romance of Business' and 'The Optimist') were only recently rediscovered. Saki: Original and Uncollected Stories will be essential reading for scholars interested in these textual variants of this inimitable writer's works and their publication histories. Spanning literary genres, this collection will also appeal to a general audience of any interested readers."--Publisher's website
