The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction presents authoritative
essays by thirty-five leading scholars of Irish fiction. They
provide in-depth assessments of the breadth and achievement of
novelists and short story writers whose collective contribution to
the evolution and modification of these unique art forms has been
far out of proportion to Ireland's small size. The volume brings a
variety of critical perspectives to bear on the development of
modern Irish fiction, situating authors, texts, and genres in their
social, intellectual, and literary historical contexts. The
Handbook's coverage encompasses an expansive range of topics,
including the recalcitrant atavisms of Irish Gothic fiction;
nineteenth-century Irish women's fiction and its influence on
emergent modernism and cultural nationalism; the diverse modes of
irony, fabulism, and social realism that characterize the fiction
of the Irish Literary Revival; the fearless aesthetic radicalism of
James Joyce; the jolting narratological experiments of Samuel
Beckett, Flann O'Brien, and Mairtin O Cadhain; the fate of the
realist and modernist traditions in the work of Elizabeth Bowen,
Frank O'Connor, Sean O'Faolain, and Mary Lavin, and in that of
their ambivalent heirs, Edna O'Brien, John McGahern, and John
Banville; the subversive treatment of sexuality and gender in
Northern Irish women's fiction written during and after the
Troubles; the often neglected genres of Irish crime fiction,
science fiction, and fiction for children; the many-hued novelistic
responses to the experiences of famine, revolution, and emigration;
and the variety and vibrancy of post-millennial fiction from both
parts of Ireland. Readably written and employing a wealth of
original research, The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction
illuminates a distinguished literary tradition that has altered the
shape of world literature.
