"Narratives of Class in New Irish and Scottish Literature"
argues that the outskirts of cities have become spaces for a new
literature beyond boundaries of traditional notions of nation,
class, and gender. These new constructions of dwellings and
neighborhoods house new notions of the roles of women in the
working class, a reconception paralleled by the use of the sorts of
textual innovations once presumed to be the territory of
metropolitan elites. Chapters on James Kelman, Roddy Doyle, Janice
Galloway, and Eoin McNamee examine appropriations of voice, shifts
in narrative perspective, and strategic uses of local vernacular as
techniques that characterize the explosion of working-class
literary production in Scotland and Ireland in the eighties and
nineties.
