The Unappeasable Host: Studies in Irish Identities explores some of
the tensions created when Anglo-Irish writers - Protestant in
religion, of non-Irish ancestryreflected upon their preferred
subject matter, Ireland and their unhyphenated Catholic
contemporaries. These tensions involve the writers' sense of
anxiety about their own membership in the Irish community, and at
the same time their anxiety about losing their distinctive
identity. Anglo-Irish writers founded modern Irish literature in
English, identifying themselves with their native country and its
people. Yet they often felt themselves surrounded and watched by an
'Unappeasable Host', a population that resented them. Robert Tracy
discusses Irish writers who in England were considered Irish, in
Ireland English - including Maria Edgeworth and Lady Morgan, the
Banim brothers, Roger O'Connor, Sheridan Le Fanu, W. B. Yeats, J.
M. Synge, Elizabeth Bowen - together with James Joyce, who,
although neither of English ancestry nor Protestant, similarly
focuses on individuals separated or excluded from the Irish life
around them.
