Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, 3, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Seminar , 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: "Coppard wrote a handful of the best short stories of the English language and [...] contributed significantly to the movement of the short story from being a truncated novel to acquiring its own form". (Frank Edmund Smith) Alfred Edgar Coppard's short stories surely have proven worth a closer examination, and that is why I undertake to delve into one his late works, , written in 1937. The focus of my work is on the story's perception, namely on its focalization in general and on the means used to present the main character the way the reader may perceive him.
