Emily Lawless is one of the most important of Ireland's forgotten
women writers. From a Protestant ascendancy background, she
combined nationalist feelings with unionist sympathies. This
important new study argues that her own term, "interspace," can be
used to explain her vision of Ireland and her position as an
Anglo-Irish woman writer determined to resist categorization or
stock solutions at a time of polarization and cultural transition.
This is the first comprehensive study of the writing of Emily
Lawless (1845-1913) and includes biographical information, letters,
and contemporary reception as well as analyses based on present-day
theoretical approaches, especially feminist criticism and cultural
geography. The study begins with a presentation of Lawless's family
background, her social circle and a description of her literary
career, including how her works have been received up until the
present. Her early fiction, novels and stories set outside Ireland
are then explored and successive chapters deal with her landscape
writing and her novels about the west of Ireland, her negotiations
with the voice of authority in historical and biographical writing,
her historical fiction and her three collections of poetry. The
concluding chapter argues that the contradictory aspects of her
writing are an effect of her desire to avoid categorization.
