The Circus in the Attic and Other Stories is the only volume of short fiction by poet and novelist Robert Penn Warren. The collection, comprising two novellas and twelve short stories, was first published in 1947 by Harcourt Brace & Company.[1]

Warren produced a relatively small body of short fiction compared to his poetry, novels and nonfiction work. The Circus in the Attic and Other Stories represents almost half of his entire oeuvre in the short story genre.[2]

The collection includes perhaps Warren's most outstanding work of short fiction, "Blackberry Winter" (1946), both in its critical acclaim and the author's own assessment.[3]

  1. ^ Millichap, 1992 p. 136: Selected Bibliography
  2. ^ Millichap, 1992 p. 5: Warren's "production the [short story] genre is limited by comparison to the other genre in his canon, and he clearly stopped writing short fiction as such relatively early in his career." And: p. 103: Introduction to Part 3, The Critics.
  3. ^ Millichap, 1992 p. 25: "...certainly his most successful story both in Warren's own view and by general critical agreement."
