This book traces the development of the modern short story in the
hands of Irish women writers from the 1890s to the present. George
Egerton, Somerville and Ross, Elizabeth Bowen, Mary Lavin, Edna
O'Brien, Anne Enright and Claire Keegan are only some of the many
Irish women writers who have made lasting contributions to the
genre of the modern short story - yet their achievements have often
been marginalized in literary histories, which typically define the
Irish short story in terms of its oral heritage, nationalist
concerns, rural realism and outsider-hero. Through a detailed
investigation of the short fiction of fifteen prominent writers,
this study aims to open up this critical conceptualization of the
Irish short story to the formal properties and thematic concerns
women writers bring to the genre. What stands out in thematic terms
is an abiding interest in human relations, whether of love, the
family or the larger community. In formal terms, this book traces
the overall development of the Irish short story, highlighting both
the lines of influence that connect these writers and the specific
use each individual author makes of the short story form.
