Thomas Tracy

Irishness and Womanhood in Nineteenth-Century British Writing (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The author's model enables him to elaborate the ways in which gender ideals are specifically contested in fiction, the discourses of political debate and social reform, and the popular press, for the purpose of defining not only the place of the Irish in the union with Great Britain, but the nature of Britishness itself.
