Literature and the Irish Famine 1845-1919
Author: Melissa FeganPublisher: Clarendon Press
ISBN: 0191555002
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The impact of the Irish famine of 1845-1852 was unparalleled in both political and psychological terms. The effects of famine-related mortality and emigration were devastating, in the field of literature no less than in other areas. In this incisive new study, Melissa Fegan explores the famine's legacy to literature, tracing it in the work of contemporary writers and their successors, down to 1919. Dr Fegan examines both fiction and non-fiction, including journalism, travel-narratives and the Irish novels of Anthony Trollope. She argues that an examination of famine literature that simply categorizes it as 'minor' or views it only as a silence or an absence misses the very real contribution that it makes to our understanding of the period. This is an important contribution to the study of Irish history and literature, sharply illuminating contemporary Irish mentalities.

Excerpt from English Misrule and Irish Misdeeds: Four Letters From Ireland, Addressed to an English Member of Parliament Sir, The great dissatisfaction and distress occasioned of late years to England by the noise of Irish misery, and its yet more formidable infection, blown over to you frequently in the westerly winds, not so much by our fault as by reason of the contiguity of the two islands, is a matter which ought long since to have touched us with some remorse, had we not been selfishly preoccupied with our own troubles.

Literary Representations of the Irish Country House
Author: M. KelsallPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 140399045X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This innovative new study examines the significance given to the country house in Ireland under the Union and how this is represented in the works of Edgeworth, Lever, Trollope, Martin and Somerville, Bowen and Lady Gregory. The Irish country house is set in a classical and European context as the centre for 'the good life' and the pinnacle of 'civilisation'. In Ireland, that inherited tradition was challenged by an alternative culture nominated as 'savage'. This book explores how the Irish country house was the focus of conflict between and symbiosis of 'civilisation' and 'savagery'.
