dc.description.abstract
The short story is the dominant literary genre in Libya. This
thesis sets out to examine this field of literature as it developed
over the last thirty years. The thesis is divided into three
parts. The first part consists of three introductory chapters.
Chapter One deals with the cultural background during the Ottoman
and Italian occupation; in Chapter Two the short story is briefly
defined for the purposes of this study while Chapter Three offers
a brief survey of the early developments in Libyan story-writing.
Part Two is devoted to an analysis of the styles of the main
writers and is divided into four chapters each dealing 0 with one of
the four main approaches which have been characterised as the
Emotional Approach (Chapter Four), the Tell-a-Tale Approach
(Chapter Five), the Realistic Approach (Chapter Six) and the
Analytical Approach (Chapter Seven). In Part Three some of the
main social themes of the Libyan short story are examined in five
chapters (Chapters Eight to Twelve). An attempt has been made to
identify the characteristics of the Libyan short story, by way of
a conclusion.
