Abstract

Abstract: The short story, as a genre, was not an object of reflection in Latin America during the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century. In this paper, it is argued that Machado de Assis as well as Horacio Quiroga, although it is most likely that they did not know each other’s work, developed parallel and sometimes convergent ideas towards a renewed theory of the genre.
