2	Poe’s Theory of the Short Story and Hybridity in East Asian Short Fiction: Considering Mori Ogai’s “Maihime” and Su Manshu’s “Suizanji” Wood, Anthony Michael 22 April 2024 (has links) (PDF) This thesis considers how Mori Ōgai’s “Maihime” (1890) and Su Manshu’s “Suizanji” (1916) conform and differ from Edgar Allen Poe’s theory of the short story. It then considers Ōgai’s and Su’s reading of the short stories and East Asian short fiction as well as Ōgai’s definition of the short story to consider why these works of short fiction differ from Poe’s definition, concluding that they are hybrid works, which seek to combine the short story and East Asian short fiction.
