This book demonstrates how improvement reveals itself to be a literary discourse, enmeshed in the very rhetorical abyss it sought to escape. In addition, the proudly liberal rhetoric of improvement is shown to be at one with the imperial discourse it worked to displace. Helen O'Connell argues that improvement discourse is embedded in the literary and cultural mainstream of modern Ireland and has hindered the development of intellectual and political debate throughout this period. These issues are examined in chapters exploring the career of William Carleton; peasant 'orality'; educational provision in the post-Union period; the Irish language; secret society violence; Young Ireland nationalism; and the Irish Revival.
This study of 'improving' fiction produced in Ireland in the 19th century demonstrates how this pamphlet literature shaped the mainstream literary culture. While uncovering previously neglected material, O'Connell also sheds new light on the work of Maria Edgeworth, Mary Leadbeater, William Carleton, Thomas Davis, J. M. Synge, W. B. Yeats, and others.
