Ireland-Japan Connections and Crossings celebrates sixty-five years
of Irish-Japanese diplomatic relations and its publication is one
part of a number of commemorative events designed to cherish past
and future relations between the two countries.The book is a
celebration of each country and their influences on one another. It
is impossible to document these in their entirety; and this is not
the purpose of the book. The articles, stories and poems in this
book are a selection from a very wide and deep source. Covering a
broad spectrum, the contributions fall into a number of defined
categories: diplomatic, economic, history and culture, education,
memoir and poetry. We hope that the book will encourage and inspire
readers to continue to read, enquire and travel into these unique,
well-connected islands.
Claire Connolly offers a cultural history of the Irish novel in the
period between the radical decade of the 1790s and the gaining of
Catholic Emancipation in 1829. These decades saw the emergence of a
group of talented Irish writers who developed and advanced such
innovative forms as the national tale and the historical novel:
fictions that took Ireland as their topic and setting and which
often imagined its history via domestic plots that addressed wider
issues of dispossession and inheritance. Their openness to
contemporary politics, as well as to recent historiography,
antiquarian scholarship, poetry, song, plays and memoirs, produced
a series of notable fictions; marked most of all by their ability
to fashion from these resources a new vocabulary of cultural
identity. This book extends and enriches the current understanding
of Irish Romanticism, blending sympathetic textual analysis of the
fiction with careful historical contextualization.
