In the 1920s and the 1930s,the short story, as a form, was difficult to sell. Readers found it an awkward compromise between a poem and a longer novel. The long-short story or novella was scarcely known. Certain comic geniuses like P. G. Wodehouse found it easy to reach and keep a vast public with short stories, either alone or in series. And of course there was W. Somerset Maugham. But the less accomplished writers found the market dwindling even further.
Since 1945, the entire literary picture has changed. Fiction of ail kinds, but above all the short story, has become more and more uneconomic to publish. Many magazines have gone out of business. As a type, the "man of letters", puffing a pipe, has almost vanished, to be replaced by the university lecturer or the television scriptwriter. The public is not attracted by imaginary plots in books but prefers the actual, the real story of real people. For those who do not read at all, television provides an enticing alternative.
Such a decline is in many ways a sad one because the old-time short story had a human quality about it which is now eroded. Yet, in an odd way, in our chaotic electronic age, the short story still has a prospect of living. It has been discovered by film scriptwriters that the form of the short story provides a useful structure for television; it readily provides the basis for a one-hour programme. [br] The best title for this passage is ______.
选项
A、The Short Story and Television
B、The Short Story and the Public
C、The Short Story: Past and Present
D、The Short Story: Form and Content
答案
C
解析
主旨题。需从全文入手,第一段讲的是19世纪20、30年代短篇小说的处境:第二段讲的是1945年以来短篇小说的发展状况;第三段讲的是短篇小说在今天电子时代的发展情况。所以总体上来看就是短篇故事的发展历史。
