Irish Writing London: Volume 1 : Revival to the Second World War EPUB
Edited by Tom Herron
Part of the Bloomsbury Studies in the City series
EPUB
Description
The presence of Irish writers is almost invisible in literary studies of London.
Irish Writing London redresses the critical deficit.
A range of experts on particular Irish writers reflect on the diverse experiences and impact this immigrant group has had on the city.
Such sustained attention to a location and concern of Irish writing, long passed over, opens up new terrain to not only reveal but create a history of Irish-London writing.
Alongside discussions of Wilde, Shaw, Joyce and Yeats, the writing of the political nationalist Katharine Tynan and work of Irish-Language writer Ó Conaire is considered.
Written by an international array of scholars, these new essays on key figures challenge the deep-seated stereotype of what constitutes the proper domain of Irish writing, producing a study that is both culturally and critically alert and a dynamic contribution to literary criticism of the city.
