Irish women flourished in the publishing world at the turn of the
twentieth century, and a number of the most popular and prolific of
these authors chose to live and work in Britain. As expatriates,
these women occupied a complex cultural space between Ireland and
Britain from which they were able to observe the rapidly altering
political landscape in their homeland and, in particular, the
debates that concerned them as women. This book examines the lives
and literature of six Irish novelists - Emily Lawless, L. T. Meade,
George Egerton, Katherine Cecil Thurston, M. E. Francis and
Katharine Tynan - who lived and worked in Britain between the years
1890 and 1916, between them producing nearly 500 published works.
Drawing on a range of their novels, this study explores their
participation in the prevailing debates of the era: the Irish
Question and the Woman Question. This book was the winner of the
2013 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition in Irish Studies.
