Margaret Oliphant (1828-97) had a prolific literary career that
spanned almost fifty years. She wrote some 98 novels, fifty or more
short stories, twenty-five works of non-fiction, including
biographies and historic guides to European cities, and more than
three hundred periodical articles. This is the most ambitious
critical edition of her work.
This is the most ambitious scholarly critical edition of Oliphant's
work ever undertaken. The sheer scale of her output has meant that
selection is essential, but the edition aims to convey the range
and variety of her work in both fiction and non-fictional genres.
It will bring together for the first time her critical writing and
other journalism for Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, the Spectator,
the St James's Gazette, as well as her articles in the Contemporary
Review, the Edinburgh, and Macmillan's Magazine. Much of her
fiction, including full length novels, short stories and novellas,
was first published in periodicals: in Blackwood's, the Cornhill,
Longman's Magazine, Macmillan's, and Good Words. Few of her
manuscripts survive, but substantive textual work remains to be
done on the editorial changes made between periodical serialization
and first appearance in volume form. The edition will place
particular emphasis on her shorter fiction, much of which will be
reprinted for the first time, and on her work as a biographer,
historian, and literary historian.
This volume of essays explores the multiple forms and functions of
reading and writing in nineteenth-century Ireland. This century saw
a dramatic transition in literacy levels and in the education and
language practices of the Irish population, yet the processes and
full significance of these transitions remains critically under
explored. This book traces how understandings of literacy and
language shaped national and transnational discourses of cultural
identity, and the different reading communities produced by
questions of language, religion, status, education and audience.
Essays are gathered under four main areas of analysis: Literacy and
Bilingualism; Periodicals and their readers; Translation,
transmission and transnational literacies; Visual literacies.
Through these sections, the authors offer a range of understandings
of the ways in which Irish readers and writers interpreted and
communicated their worlds. List of contributors: Rebecca Anne Barr,
Sarah-Anne Buckley, Muireann O'Cinneide, Niall O Ciosain, Maire Nic
an Bhaird, Liam Mac Mathuna, James Quinn, Nicola Morris, Elizabeth
Tilley, Darragh Gannon, Florry O'Driscoll, Michele Milan, Nessa
Cronin and Stephanie Rains.

Women's literary expressions of war have long been neglected and at
times forgotten in Irish scholarship. In Women Writing War: Ireland
1880-1922 many of these forgotten women are revealed through their
writings as culturally active and deeply invested in the political
and military struggles of their turbulent times. From the Land Wars
to the Boer Wars, from the First World War to the Easter Rising,
the War of Independence and the Civil War, the fascinating women
considered in this volume-grapple with the experiential
representation of conflicts. The diverse range of topics explored
include: women's eye- witness accounts of 1916, Winifred Letts's
First World War poetry, the political rhetoric and experiences of
Anna Parnell and Anne Blunt during the Land War, Peggie Kelly's
fiction and Cumann na mBan activism, the cultural nationalism of
northern. Protestant "New Women" of the Glens of Antrim, Una Ni
Fhaircheallaigh's Irish language activism in and beyond the Gaelic
League, Emily Lawless's Boer War diary as well as the dramatic
collaboration of sisters Eva Gore-Booth and Countess Markievicz.The
book also includes a preface by historian Margaret Ward and an
extract from Lia Mills's award-winning historical novel Fallen, set
in Dublin during the Easter Rising (selected as the 2016 'One City
One Book' choice for both Dublin and Belfast). Engaging with recent
Scholarly debates on sexuality, war writing, and the politics of
Irish warfare, the authors of Women Writing War explore the ways in
which conflict narratives have been read - and interpreted - as
deeply gendered. Radicals, revolutionaries and queer activists, as
well as women who remained attached to the domestic sphere, are all
represented in this original and provocative volume on the
relationship between women and conflict.
