If you have been following our blog, you will know that on the first Wednesday of every month, the society has been posting a new short story by Reynolds. These stories are a part of a collection from Reynolds’s various newspaper and magazine publications curated by Dr. Stephen Knight, Professor Emeritus at the University of Melbourne. While we will continue to post these stories monthly on the blog with unique introductions written by Dr. Knight, we also want to make all of the stories available in full now for anyone hoping to study them or integrate them into their teaching.
Below is a list of 23 links, each leading to one of Reynolds’ short stories. We encourage you to read the stories at your own pace and also to subscribe to and follow our blog to experience the stories in a serial format the way Victorian readers would have. Your comments on the available blog posts have started some great conversations and everyone in the society has really enjoyed seeing your thoughts. Also note that that Dr. Knight’s informative introductions and commentary will only be available in the monthly blog posts, as these links only contain the short stories.
Thank you for joining us, and we hope you enjoy the stories!
