enables a new view, as a whole, of the work of women writers*
juxtaposes the work of Irish, English-language, and bilingual
writers, and thereby helps to develop an understanding of the
province of Munster as a diverse cultural milieu, and focus on the
role of regionality in the process of cultural creationThe Munster
Women Writers Project, based in the English Department at
University College Cork, was a recovery project aiming to make
available the basic materials for biographical and literary
research and analysis on the extensive number of women writers with
Munster backgrounds or strong Munster connections in the period
1800-2000. The objective was to make more information on these
writers available for future literary historians, feminist critics
and social historians to develop knowledge and understanding of
this material. By making available the basic materials for
scholarly research in this field, the project aims to help generate
critical analysis of the role of regional, class and gender factors
in the formation of writers, and the intersection of these factors
in the nature of the work produced.
