Probing Irish modernism's responsiveness to contemporary theory beyond postcolonial and Irish studies, this book uses diverse paradigms including weak theory, biopolitics, posthumanism, and the nonhuman turn, to rethink Irish modernism's organising themes: nationalism, martyrdom, war, state violence, prostitution, temporality, death, mourning. At the same time, cutting-edge work from queer theory and gender studies draws urgent attention to the too-often marginalised importance of women's writing and queer expression to the Irish \u003ci\u003eavant-garde\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForegrounding Irish modernist interfaces between visual, literary, musical, dramatic, cinematic, epistolary and journalistic media, this book focuses on writers, artists and cultural figures such as Hannah Berman, Eva Gore-Booth, Esther Roper, Forrest Reid, Mary Davenport O'Neill, Sheila Wingfield, Ethel Colburn Mayne, Edward Martyn, Jane Seosamh ﾓ Torna, and M疂rt? ﾓ Cadhain. At the same time, this volume asks how consideration of Irish modernism through the diverse genres and movements of these neglected and liminal figures compels us to reconsider the position of the \"major (Irish) modernists\" - such as Synge, Yeats, Shaw, Joyce, O'Nolan, Beckett, MacGreevy, and Bowen - in this redrawn canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Fagan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350177369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350177369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Paul Fagan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993419907327,"sku":"9781350177369","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68098189-8e89-44e8-a6f7-f884473b0082.jpg?v=1683324248","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irish-modernisms-paul-fagan-9781350177369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
