Some of the authors discussed in the book include: Oscar Wilde, Brendan Behan, John Broderick, Colm Tb匤, Keith Ridgway, Jamie O'Neill, Miche疝 ﾓ Conghaile and Barry McCrea. The book critically analyses the emergence of contemporary Irish gay fiction since 1993, especially its most notable genres: the coming out romance and the historical romance. It assesses the role of the novel in the evolution of Irish LGBT politics, mapping a literary and cultural space where the utopian aspirations of sexual liberation have clashed with the reformism and neo-liberal political rationality of identity politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRevolutionary bodies offers a unique critical intervention into our understanding of queer Irish cultures in the wake of the 2015 referendum and the Varadkar election.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael G.
