V. S. Pritchett, one our greatest short-story writers, has chosen
forty-one stories written in the English language for this volume,
producing a collection that successfully displays the wealth and
variety of an art that spans some 200 years.
Great Britain, America, and especially Eire have fine traditions
of short-story writing that have developed from the time of Sir
Walter Scott and Nathaniel Hawthorne, while in the last century the
art was perfected by Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, W. Somerset
Maugham, John Updike, and V. S. Pritchett himself. The Irish
contribution includes such masters as James Joyce, Frank O'Connor,
and Liam O'Flaherty, and stories by Canadian, Indian, New Zealand,
and Australian writers show the full range of invention and ability
in a genre that continues to flourish.
