Irish women writers and the modern short story[electronic resource] /by Elke D'hoker. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - x, 231 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1. Mothers of the Irish Short Story: George Egerton and Somerville and Ross -- 2. Houses and Homes in the Short Stories of Elizabeth Bowen and Maeve Brennan -- 3. Mary Lavin's Relational Selves -- 4. Staging the Community in Irish Short Fiction: Choruses, Cycles and Crimes -- 5. The Rebellious Daughters of Edna O'Brien and Claire Keegan -- 6. Double Visions: The Metafictional Stories of Eilis Ni Dhuibhne, Enright and Donoghue -- Bibliography -- Index.

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.
