IRISH WOMEN WRITERS KARTONIERT (TB)

After a decade in which women writers have gradually been given more recognition in the study
of Irish literature  this collection proposes a reappraisal of Irish women's writing by
inviting dialogues with new or hitherto marginalised critical frameworks as well as with
foreign and transnational literary traditions. Several essays explore how Irish women writers
engaged with European themes and traditions through the genres of travel writing  the
historical novel  the monologue and the fairy tale. Other contributions are concerned with the
British context in which some texts were published and argue for the existence of Irish
inflections of phenomena such as the New Woman  suffragism or vegetarianism. Further chapters
emphasise the transnational character of Irish women's writing by applying continental theory
and French feminist thinking to various texts  in other chapters new developments in theory are
applied to Irish texts for the first time. Casting the efforts of Irish women in a new light 
the collection also includes explorations of the work of neglected or emerging authors who have
remained comparatively ignored by Irish literary criticism.
