One of the most important Irish novelists of the twentieth century,
Kate O'Brien (1897-1974) was also a pioneer of women's writing. In
a career that spanned almost fifty years, nine novels, nine plays,
two travelogues, and copious criticism, O'Brien rebelled against
the narrow nationalism and restrictive Catholicism prevalent in
independent Ireland. In this highly original approach to O'Brien's
work, Davison traces the influence of three leading Spanish
writers-Jacinto Benavente, Miguel de Cervantes, and Teresa of
Avila. O'Brien's lifelong fascination with Spanish literature and
culture offered an oblique way of resisting the Catholic and
conservative imperatives of the Irish Free State. In a series of
close comparative readings, Davison identifies the origin of
O'Brien's creative disinhibition and ultimately situates her within
a tradition of dissident Irish women writers.
