Home›Short Fiction and Fable›Audience›GeneralBrowse ByGeneralAudience groups literary works by who they were written for or who actually reads them. Wikipedia notes that adaptations of Pride and Prejudice have kept "portraying the memorable characters and themes of the novel, reaching mass audiences" for more than a century. This dimension separates works aimed at a general readership from those written for a narrower or more specialized one.FactsGeneralSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1800 1GeneralFilter Results34 entriesGenreAllBeast Fable (1)Bildungsroman (1)Coming-of-Age Story (1)Fable (3)Fantasy (1)Frame Story (1)Gothic Fiction (1)Horror Fiction (1)Literary Diary (1)Philosophical Fiction (1)Romance (1)Satire (1)Short Fiction (21)Southern Gothic (1)The Novel (1)Utopian and Dystopian Fiction (1)AuthorAllAnton Chekhov (1)Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1)Clarice Lispector (1)Dimitris Lyacos (1)Ding Ling (1)Edgar Allan Poe (1)Ernest Hemingway (2)Franz Kafka (2)Fyodor Dostoevsky (1)George Orwell (1)Herman Melville (1)Ibn al-Muqaffa (1)Isaac Bashevis Singer (1)Jorge Luis Borges (1)Lu Xun (1)Nikolai Gogol (3)Nikolai Leskov (1)Paulo Coelho (1)Ryunosuke Akutagawa (2)Shirley Jackson (1)Sholem Aleichem (1)Somadeva (1)Stephen King (1)Thomas Mann (1)William Faulkner (1)Composition YearAll-300 (1)750 (1)800 (1)1050 (1)1063 (1)1835 (2)1839 (1)1841 (1)1842 (1)1853 (1)1864 (1)1865 (1)1892 (1)1894 (1)1898 (1)1899 (1)1912 (1)1914 (1)1915 (1)1918 (1)1919 (1)1922 (2)1927 (2)1930 (1)1941 (1)1944 (1)1945 (1)1948 (1)1950 (1)1952 (1)1957 (1)1977 (1)1982 (1)1988 (1)Original LanguageAllArabic (1)English (10)German (3)Greek (1)Italian (1)Japanese (2)Pali (1)Portuguese (2)Romanian (4)Russian (6)Sanskrit (2)Sinitic (2)Spanish (1)Welsh (1)Yiddish (2)Country of OriginAllAbbasid Caliphate (1)Argentina (1)Austria-Hungary (1)Brazil (2)China (2)Germany (3)Greece (1)India (3)Italy (1)Japan (2)Russia (6)United Kingdom (3)United States (8)AwardAllBancarella Literary Prize (1)Prometheus Award - Hall of Fame (1)Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1)Retro Hugo Award for Best Novella (1)Setting Country or PlaceAllBeijing (1)Venice (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 34A Hunger ArtistGeneralA Rose for EmilyGeneralAnimal FarmGeneralBartleby, the ScrivenerGeneralDeath in VeniceGeneralDiary of a Madman (Gogol)GeneralDiary of a Madman (Lu Xun)GeneralFiccionesGeneralGimpel the FoolGeneralHills Like White ElephantsGeneralHitopadeshaGeneralIn a GroveGeneralIn the Penal ColonyGeneralJataka TalesGeneralKalila wa DimnaGeneralKathasaritsagaraGeneralLa Damigella di ScalotGeneralLady Macbeth of the Mtsensk DistrictGeneralMiss Sophia's DiaryGeneralNotes from UndergroundGeneralRashomonGeneralTevye the DairymanGeneralThe Alchemist (novel)GeneralThe BodyGeneralThe Fall of the House of UsherGeneralThe Hour of the StarGeneralThe Lady with the DogGeneralThe Lottery (short story)GeneralThe MabinogionGeneralThe Nose (Gogol)GeneralThe Old Man and the SeaGeneralThe OvercoatGeneralThe Yellow WallpaperGeneralUntil the Victim Becomes our OwnGeneralSources1.
