From the 1880s on, the 'Irish Question' was a central site of struggle in British and Irish public discourse, and in this turbulent period a new generation of Irish literary writers began to resist hegemonies of a different kind, subverting gender and sexual identities and challenging prescribed roles in the family. This important new book is the first in-depth study which foregrounds the Irish and New Woman contexts, effecting a paradigm shift in the critical reception of "fin de sïcle" writers and their work Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject English literature -- Irish authors -- History and criticism English literature -- 19th century -- History and criticism Feminism and literature -- Ireland -- History -- 19th century Feminism and literature -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Literature and history -- Ireland -- History -- 19th century Politics and literature -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Feminist literary criticism -- Ireland Decadence (Literary movement) Sex role in literature.
