The eruption of rural distress in Ireland and the foundation of the
Land League in 1879 sparked a number of novels, stories and plays
forming an immediate response to what became known as the Irish
Land war. These works form a literary genre of their own and
illuminate both the historical events themselves and the material
conditions of reading and writing in late nineteenth-century
Ireland. Divisions into 'us' and 'them' were convenient for
political reasons, but the fiction of the period frequently
modifies this alignment and draws attention to the complexity of
the land problem. This collection includes studies of canonical
land war novels, publication channels, collaborations between
artists and authors, literary conventions and the interplay between
personal experience and literary output. It also includes unique
resources such as a reprinted letter by the author Mary Anne
Sadlier and a reproduction of Rosa Mulholland's little-known play
Our Boycotting. The book concludes with a detailed bibliography of
land war fiction between 1879 and 1916, which should inspire
further reading and research into the genre.
