Résumé
This double issue of the Journal of the Short Story in English collects a number of articles that were initially presented at the annual ENSFR (European Network for Short Fiction Research) conference that took place in Montpellier in October 2019, and three original contributions on Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, and Alice Munro. Jean-Michel Ganteau and Christine Reynier who organized the “Short Fiction as Humble Fiction” conference in Montpellier, sponsored by their research center, EMMA EA 741, have devoted in the recent years much of their time and energy to exploring the theme of the humble in literature—be it long or short. They have published several books on this topic in an attempt to “reveal the depth and philosophical relevance of literature, its ethical and political dimension as well as its connection to life,” as they put it in their collection The Humble in 19th- to 21st-Century British Literature and Arts.
