'York Notes Advanced' offer an accessible approach to English
Literature. This series has been completely updated to meet the
needs of today's A-level and undergraduate students. Written by
established literature experts, 'York Notes Advanced' introduce
students to more sophisticated analysis, a range of critical
perspectives and wider contexts.
This book examines how Ireland's relationship with the EU was
affected by a succession of crises in both the Republic of Ireland
and Northern Ireland. The financial crisis, the Brexit crisis and
the migration crisis were not of equal significance on the island
of Ireland. The financial crisis was a huge issue for the Republic
but not Northern Ireland, Brexit had a major impact in both
polities, the migration and populism issues were less
controversial, while foreign policy challenges had a minimal
impact. The book provides a summary of the main features of each of
the crises to be considered, from both the EU and the Irish
perspective. Ireland and the European Union is the first volume of
its kind to provide a comprehensive analysis on British-Irish
relations in the context of Brexit. It assesses the Withdrawal
Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the devolution
settlement and the 1998 Agreement, as well as the European
dimension to Northern Ireland's peace process. The contributors
explore a number of policy areas that are central to the
understanding of each of the crises and the impact of each for
Ireland. Chapters examine issues such as security, migration and
taxation as well as protest politics, political parties, the media,
public opinion and the economic impact of each of these crises on
Ireland's relationship with the EU. -- .

This book interprets the relationship between Ireland and the
European Union (EU). We are coming up to 50 years since Ireland
acceded to the EU (2023), and the links between the two are unique
and distinctive. The volume presents an original interpretation of
Irish-EU relations, and this in turn has implications for a wider
understanding of the EU. Its aim is to analyse the Irish-EU
relationship from the idea of two apparently contradictory
political ideas - internationalism (as represented by European
integration in this particular instance) and nationalism (long the
dominant value in Irish politics). The authors argue that to date
the contradictions have been managed with considerable ease,
leading us to characterise the Irish-EU relationship as
"nationalism within internationalism".
Reconsiders Virginia Woolf's work for the 21st century focusing on
coevolution, duality and contradiction. These eleven newly
commissioned essays represent the evolution, or coevolution, of
Woolf studies in the early twenty-first century. Divided into five
parts. Self and Identity; Language and Translation; Culture and
Commodification; Human, Animal and Nonhuman; and Genders,
Sexualities and Multiplicities, the essays represent the most
recent scholarship on the subjective, provisional, and contingent
nature of Woolf's work. The expert contributors consider unstable
constructions of self and identity, and language and translation
from multiple angles, including shifting textualities, culture and
the marketplace, critical animal studies, and discourses that
fracture and revise gender and sexuality. Key Features: - Extends
existing critical work that considers a multiplicity of
constructions of Virginia Woolf - Demonstrates original and diverse
ways of reading this canonical (and contradictory) author -
Explores multiple meanings related to the conjoined, fused,
connected and evolving nature of Woolf studies - Considers new
configurations, new pairings, and new ways of placing ideas in
tension around Woolf's work for a postmodern, postmillennial era

Bringing together over 70 influential critical articles, Virginia
Woolf: Critical and Primary Sources is a collection of significant
academic writing on the work of the great modernist writer,
Virginia Woolf. Beginning with the academic rediscovery of Woolf in
the mid-1970s, this collection charts the development of Woolf
scholarship up to 2015. It comprises examinations of Woolf's
fiction and non-fictional writing, important manuscript and
archival discoveries and biographical analyses, as well as critical
work on Woolf's feminism, aesthetics and cultural writing. Each
volume includes a substantial contextualising introduction
surveying Woolf studies in the decade covered. Virginia Woolf:
Critical and Primary Sources is an essential academic resource for
scholars and common readers alike.
Virginia Woolf is one of the best-known and most influential
modernist writers; an iconic figure, her image and reference to her
work and life appear in the most varied of cultural sites. Her
writing is, however, in many ways kaleidoscopic and has given rise
to a diverse and, sometimes, conflicting body of critical work.
Whilst Woolf envisaged that her readers could be 'fellow-worker s]'
in the creative process, there is much to perplex any reader
approaching her writing, especially for the first time. Drawing on
some of the main critical debates and on Woolf's non-fictional
writings, this Guide untangles some of the difficulties and
perplexities that can prove a barrier to understanding of Woolf's
writing. These include aspects of the process of writing (such as
narrative techniques, formal structures, characterisation), as well
as the thematic concerns so central to Woolf's writing, the
cultural context in which it emerged and to recent criticism,
including representations of gender and sexuality, class and race.
Reconsiders Virginia Woolf's work for the 21st century focusing on
coevolution, duality and contradiction
These 11 newly commissioned essays represent the evolution, or
coevolution, of Woolf studies in the early 21st-century. Divided
into 5 parts - Self and Identity; Language and Translation; Culture
and Commodification; Human, Animal and Nonhuman; and Gender,
Sexuality and Multiplicity - the essays represent the most recent
scholarship on the subjective, provisional, and contingent nature
of Woolf's work. The expert contributors consider unstable
constructions of self and identity, and language and translation
from multiple angles, including shifting textualities, culture and
the marketplace, critical animal studies, and discourses that
fracture and revise gender and sexuality.
