Irish short story
The Irish short story has a distinctive place in the modern Irish literary tradition. Many of Ireland's best writers, both in English and Irish, have been practitioners of the genre. It has been argued that its origins lie in the ancient Gaelic tradition of story-telling, though it conforms to the conventions of the genre elsewhere.
==Origins==
It has been argued that the Irish short story evolved naturally from the ancient tradition of oral storytelling in Ireland. The written word has been cultivated in Ireland since the introduction of the Roman alphabet by the Christian missionaries in the fifth century. But oral storytelling continued independently up to the twentieth Century and survived the general switch from the Irish to the English language. By the mid nineteenth century Irish writers had begun to use the English language to record the lives and convey the thoughts of the ordinary people, mostly impoverished peasants, and to address themselves to an Irish readership.〔Vivian Mercier, Introduction to ''Great Irish Short Stories'' (Dell, 1964); William Trevor: Introduction to ''The Oxford Book of Irish Short Stories'' (Oxford University Press, 1989)〕 The most popular literary form to emerge from this development was the tale, and the most notable practitioner William Carleton (1794–1869), whose collection ''Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry'' (1830) is a classic of the genre.
