Exploring the effects of traveling, migration, and other forms of
cultural contact, particularly within Europe, this edited
collection explores the act of traveling and the representation of
traveling by Irish men and women from diverse walks of life in the
period between Grattan's Parliament (1782) and World War I (1914).
This was a period marked by an increasing physical and cultural
mobility of Irish throughout Britain, Continental Europe, the
Americas, and the Pacific. Travel was undertaken for a variety of
reasons: during the Romantic period, the 'Grand Tour' and what is
now sometimes referred to as medical tourism brought Irish artists
and intellectuals to Europe, where cultural exchanges with other
writers, artists, and thinkers inspired them to introduce novel
ideas and cultural forms to their Irish audiences. Showing this
impact of the nineteenth-century Irish across national borders and
their engagement with global cultural and linguistic traditions,
the volume will provide novel insights into the transcultural
spheres of the arts, literature, politics, and translation in which
they were active.
Scholarly interest in 'the Irish Gothic' has grown at a rapid pace
in recent years, but the debate over exactly what constitutes this
body of literature remains far from settled. This collection of
essays explores the rich complexities of the literary gothic in
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Ireland.

The gothic novel in Ireland, c. 1760-1829 offers a compelling
account of the development of gothic literature in late-eighteenth
and early-nineteenth century Ireland. Countering traditional
scholarly views of the 'rise' of 'the gothic novel' on the one
hand, and, on the other, Irish Romantic literature, this study
persuasively re-integrates a body of now overlooked works into the
history of the literary gothic as it emerged across Ireland,
Britain, and Europe between 1760 and 1829. Its twinned quantitative
and qualitative analysis of neglected Irish texts produces a new
formal, generic, and ideological map of gothic literary production
in this period, persuasively positioning Irish works and authors at
the centre of a new critical paradigm with which to understand both
Irish Romantic and gothic literary production. -- .

A self-described "disappointed Author", Charles Robert Maturin
(1780-1824) has been largely relegated to the margins of literary
history since his death in 1824. Yet, as this study demonstrates,
he exerted a fundamental influence on the development of Irish
fiction in the early nineteenth century. In particular, his novels
dramatically underscore the continuing presence and deployment of
the Gothic mode in Romantic Ireland - an influence now frequently
overlooked in critical attention to the national and regional forms
popularized in Ireland in the wake of Anglo-Irish Union (1801).
Working from Jacques Derrida's influential theory on ghosts, this
study positions Maturin as the cornerstone on which to build a new
paradigm of Irish Romantic fiction, one which accounts for the
spectral traces of the past - cultural, social, and political -
evident in early-nineteenth century Irish fiction. As it does so,
it calls for renewed critical and popular attention to an author
who himself continues spectrally to emerge in the works of his
literary successors. -- .
