The island of Ireland is home to one of the world's great literary
and artistic traditions. This book reads Irish literature and art
in context of the island's coastal and maritime cultures, beginning
with the late imperial experiences of Jack and William Butler Yeats
and ending with the contemporary work of Anne Enright and Sinead
Morrissey. It includes chapters on key historical texts such as
Erskine Childers's The Riddle of the Sands, and on contemporary
writers including Eilean Ni Chuilleanain and Kevin Barry. It sets a
diverse range of writing and visual art in a fluid panorama of
liquid associations that connect Irish literature to an archipelago
of other times and places. Situated within contemporary
conversations about the blue and the environmental humanities, this
book builds on the upsurge of interest in seas and coasts in
literary studies, presenting James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, John
Banville, and many others in new coastal and maritime contexts. In
doing so, it creates a literary and visual narrative of Irish
coastal cultures across a seaboard that extends to a planetary
configuration of imagined islands.
