这圣帕特里克节,读者文学批评在线可以通过避开绿色啤酒和三叶草媚俗,和考虑,而不是爱尔兰的文学世界中的许多贡献,从群众中脱颖而出。正如评论家特伦斯·布朗注意到,短篇小说批评,卷226,“这是几乎是爱尔兰的散文小说作家都被吸引到短故事的形式,并确实它擅长文学史上的争议事实。”该卷,这是完全致力于爱尔兰作家,包括詹姆斯·乔伊斯一个漫长的条目。他的故事,所有这些都包含在集合中都柏林,被广泛认为是跻身于英语最好的。乔伊斯本人也相当确信这本书的重要性,甚至其出版之前,莫里斯贝雅在他的文章写道,“一个好自己看”:

在他们带出的一个版本争议的问题都柏林,詹姆斯·乔伊斯写的出版商格兰特·理查兹说:“我真的相信你会通过阻止爱尔兰人有一个良好的看看自己在我的构思精巧的镜子延缓爱尔兰文明的进程。”


乔伊斯,谁在1904年离开爱尔兰为好,声誉相媲美由弗兰克·奥康纳短篇小说作家,也是治疗短篇小说批评226.出生迈克尔·弗朗西斯多诺万在1903年,他离开了家,十四岁一个艰难的童年后,一年后加入了爱尔兰共和军,以及在爱尔兰独立战争中作战。战争结束后,他开始写作,采用化名弗兰克·奥康纳,恐怕他在革命后社会的社会保守主义的观点可能会夺去了他的公务员制度的工作作为一个图书管理员。在他的文章“弗兰克奥康纳的孤独之声” Eibhear沃尔什指出,在1922年奥康纳建立独立的爱尔兰国家之后成为新国家的“天主教的道德准则和法律”幻灭:

As a former revolutionary, O’Connor felt entitled to critique the state he had helped create and wrote about the aftermath of the Irish War of Independence and the traumatic Civil War in these terms, ‘What neither group saw was that […] what we were bringing about was a new establishment of Church and State in which imagination would play no part and young men and women would emigrate to the end of the earth, not because the country was poor but because it was mediocre.’

Despite O’Connor’s fears, the opposite proved true in the case of writer Mary Lavin, who was born to Irish immigrant parents in Massachusetts in 1912 and moved to Ireland with her mother at the age of ten, around the time the Irish War of Independence was wrapping up. Her first collection appeared in 1942, but her short-fiction work was probably best-known to American readers through her association with the纽约人杂志,其中1958年和1976年GráinneHurley的文章“试图获得话语权”之间出版了她的故事,十六短篇小说批评226个报价洞察拉文的写作过程中,通过她与该杂志的对应关系。它还提供的图片纽约人编辑威廉·肖恩在一些拉文的脸神经质的弗兰克描述:

William Shawn proved as uneasy as his predecessor, Harold Ross, with references to sex and bodily functions in the magazine, and included in his list of words that he would not permit in the magazine were ‘balding’ and ‘pimples.’ The bloodiness of Lavin’s ‘The Lost Child’ presented a problem because ‘it made Mr. Shawn sick,’ but [fiction editor Rachel] MacKenzie ‘assured him we could drain a good bit off in the editing.’

拉文欣然同意了许多社论削减她的工作,也许是因为,如赫尔利指出,“她仍然使用她的另一个版本抑制物质。”

综上所述:取照镜子好好看看,并愿意提供诚实的批评,但准备接受抑制。关于第二个想法,这里是绿色的啤酒?和传统的祝酒“爱尔兰圣。帕特里克破坏的其他的爬物天,可他的弟子们迅速灭掉当今时代的政治爬行动物“。
