The Irish writer, Deirdre Madden, has written key novels about the
Northern Irish Troubles and about contemporary Ireland. In these
works, she weighs up the aftermath of violence and the impact of
the shift to a more open but materialist society in the country
overall. Memory, trauma, and the abiding but elusive links between
the past and the present are central concerns of her fiction. This
pioneering set of essays by leading experts in Irish Studies
explores the many dimensions of her novels from a wide variety of
perspectives. Madden's skill at interweaving novels of ideas with
artist novels that draw out the complex inner predicaments of her
characters is highlighted. States of dislocation are concentrated
on in her texts, but also the quest for a home in the world and a
lasting set of values that allows for personal integrity and
authenticity. These multifaceted explorations bear out the
compelling and enduring aspects of Madden's highly regarded novels.
