Claire Connolly offers a cultural history of the Irish novel in the
period between the radical decade of the 1790s and the gaining of
Catholic Emancipation in 1829. These decades saw the emergence of a
group of talented Irish writers who developed and advanced such
innovative forms as the national tale and the historical novel:
fictions that took Ireland as their topic and setting and which
often imagined its history via domestic plots that addressed wider
issues of dispossession and inheritance. Their openness to
contemporary politics, as well as to recent historiography,
antiquarian scholarship, poetry, song, plays and memoirs, produced
a series of notable fictions; marked most of all by their ability
to fashion from these resources a new vocabulary of cultural
identity. This book extends and enriches the current understanding
of Irish Romanticism, blending sympathetic textual analysis of the
fiction with careful historical contextualization.
