Produktbeschreibung

This volume reflects on the pressing questions for Irish literary studies now. Contributors challenge prevailing assumptions within the field, seek to displace the canon, and define alternative paths. From queer studies to transnationalism, from #MeToo to the politics of representing disability, this collection opens up the institution of Irish criticism and considers the ethical challenges and opportunities for scholars working in the field today from concerns with identity politics to questions of form. Moreover, the collection reflects on where we have come from and the development of Irish studies both in the Irish University Review and internationally in Asia, Australasia, Europe, and South America. KEY FEATURES *Leading critics tackling the pressing questions for literary studies now: identity, form, and scholarly practice *Survey essays on emergent areas: digital humanities, bilingualism, children's literature, memoir and experimental poetry *International perspectives *Platform for early-career scholars 'in conversation' *Overview of 50 years of Irish studies in the Irish University Review Emilie Pine is Associate Professor in the School of English, Drama and Film in University College Dublin and Editor of the Irish University Review.
