Culture, Northern Ireland, and the Second World War explores the
impact of the Second World War on literature and culture in
Northern Ireland between 1939 and 1970. It argues that the war, as
a unique interregnum in the history of Northern Ireland, challenged
the entrenched political and social makeup of the province and had
a profound effect on its cultural life. Critical approaches to
Northern Irish literature and culture have often been circumscribed
by topographies of partition and sectarianism, but the Second World
War generated conditions for reimagining the province within
broader European and global contexts. These have perhaps been
obscured by the amount of critical attention that has been paid to
the impact of the Troubles on the culture of the province, and for
this reason the book focuses on material produced before the
flaring of political violence towards the end of the 1960s. Drawing
on archival research, over four chapters the book describes the
activities of an eccentric collection of artists and writers during
and after the Second World War, and considers how the awkward
position of the province in relation to the war is reflected in
their work
