The application of postcolonial theories to Irish literature
remains a contentious issue. Unlike other colonised nations,
Ireland shared a long history of political, economic and artistic
ties with its empire-building neighbour, Britain. Yet the Irish
response to the project of British imperialism bears comparison
with postcolonial models of the relationship between colonisers and
the colonised. Writing from the Margins of Europe assesses the
potential for postcolonial analysis of works by W. B. Yeats, J. M.
Synge and James Joyce. In this exploration of postcolonial
parallels between these writers, the author focuses on four core
issues: historiography, nationalism, language and displacement.
This title is the third in the successful theme-based Stitched
Textiles series. It contains a comprehensive techniques section,
six beautiful step-by-step projects and galleries of inspirational
pieces that are vibrant, contemporary, and beautifully executed.
Very much aimed at the contemporary textile artist, this beautiful
book is designed to inspire and encourage and contains all the
information a beginner needs. Birds are an enduring theme in art
and textile work and this book will appeal to any textile artist
interested in exploring their design possibilities. It features a
range of birds including much-loved garden blackbirds, characterful
chickens, cute and curious puffins and cheeky seagulls. Fresh and
innovative in its approach, it covers the design process itself,
from inspiration to final design, and provides information on the
materials used and step-by-step demonstrations of a whole range of
techniques including dyeing, using dissolvable fabric, using found
objects, piecing and stitching.
The articles in this volume represent a wide range of perspectives
on the literary art of Ali Smith; one of the most significant
figures in the field of contemporary British literature. Focussing
on concepts of visual and linguistic representation, these papers
reflect Smith's own preoccupations with narrative and language;
time and myth; gender and identity. The Literary Art of Ali Smith
reflects the inherent complexities in Smith's literary output, as
well as the compassion and subversion inherent in her work. The
volume offers new insights and analysis into some of Smith's most
prominent novels, novellas, short stories and essays.
