This is the first book on Irish literature to focus on the theme of
loss, and how it is represented in Irish writing. It focuses on how
literature is ideally suited to expressions and understanding of
the nature of loss, given its ability to access and express
emotions, sensations, feelings, and the visceral and haptic areas
of experience. Dealing with feelings and with sensations, poems,
novels and drama can allow for cathartic expressions of these
emotions, as well as for a fuller understanding of what is involved
in loss across all situations. The main notion of loss being dealt
with is that of death, but feelings of loss in the wake of
immigration and of the loss of certainties that defined notions of
identity are also analysed. This volume will be of interest to
scholars, students and researchers in Irish Studies, loss, memory,
trauma, death, and cultural studies.
