Ireland's experience in the nineteenth century was quite different
from that of Victorian Britain. Its fictions were written in
differing forms - like the gothic or historical novel - and its
poetry and drama were populated with ballad and song. Its writers
were by turns nationalist or unionist, anglophile or
de-anglicising. If the effects of famine and emigration were
catastrophic for mid-nineteenth-century Irish culture, they
initiated a literary story that spread across the diaspora. Despite
the decline of spoken Irish, literature continued to be published,
while scholarly endeavours such as translation or the Ordnance
Survey preserved much from the Gaelic past. This rich volume
examines the many forms of new writing that thrived throughout this
period. Utilizing a thematic and historical approach, it addresses
a broad anglophone readership in Victorian literature. Essays
consider the Irish authors in America and India, women's writing,
and the resilience of Irish literature before the revival.
