He is widely considered to be one of the fathers of the modern short story.

She lives in New York.

He was formerly Master of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. He is the author of Maupassant: `Pierre et Jean' and has edited Pierre et Jean and Bel- Ami for Oxford University Press's World Classics series. The majority of his publications have been devoted to the work of Emile Zola and the relationship between literature and the visual arts in late nineteenth-century France.
