Women and Exile in Contemporary Irish Fiction examines the
representation of the Irish woman migrant and ideas of exile in the
contemporary Irish novel. Women have frequently been overlooked or
made to serve an emblematic or symbolic function in the portrayal
of exile in Irish writing, but more recent treatments of exile and
emigration show a keen interest in reclaiming the history of the
Irish woman emigrant and in explicitly addressing this lacuna. The
book surveys how the Irish woman emigrant is imagined from the
early twentieth century to the present day, and explores how six
Irish authors - Julia O'Faolain, Edna O'Brien, Anne Enright, John
McGahern, William Trevor and Colm Toibin - have contributed to the
recovery of the story of the woman migrant. Particular emphasis is
given to how these writers offer complex representations of women
in relation to the Irish emigrant experience and respond to a range
of different meanings of exile and emigration in an Irish context.
