The Oxford Book of Short Stories
V. S. Pritchett, one of our greatest short story
writers, has chosen forty-one stories from nine countries 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. The United States, Great Britain, and Ireland have fine traditions of short story writing that have developed from the time of
Sir Walter Scott and Nathaniel Hawthorne. In the twentieth century the
art was perfected by Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, W. Somerset
Maugham, John Updike, and V. S. Pritchett himself. Other contributions
in the book come from such masters as James Joyce, Mark Twain, Henry
James, Rudyard Kipling, Frank O'Connor, H. E. Bates, William Trevor, and
Liam O'Flaherty. Now, the collection of short story masters extends to Canadian, Indian, New Zealander, and Australian writers, who show in the works included here the full range of invention and ability in a genre that continues to flourish.
