Strange Country Zusammenfassung

Strange Country: Modernity and Nationhood in Irish Writing since 1790 Seamus Deane (Keough Professor of Irish Studies, Keough Professor of Irish Studies, University of Notre Dame in Indiana)

This book traces the emergence of a self-consciously national tradition in Irish writing from the era of the French Revolution and, specifically, from Edmund Burke's counter-revolutionary writings. From Gerald Griffin's The Collegians, to Bram Stoker's Dracula, from James Hardiman's Irish Minstrelsy to Synge, Yeats, and Joyce, Irish writing is dominated by a number of inherited issuesthose of national character, of conflict between discipline and excess, of division between the languages of economics and sensibility, of modernity and backwardness. Almost all the activities of Irish print cultureits novels, songs, historical analyses, typefaces, poemstake place within the limits imposed by this complex inheritance. In the process, Ireland created a national literature that was also a colonial one. This was and is an achievement that is only now being fully recognised.

Strange Country Bewertungen

The demanding subtleties of these lectures provide, in fact, both a case in point and an encouraging augury for the future. * Roy Foster, The Times *
In a brilliant analysis of the relationship of land to speech, Deane writes that soil is what land becomes when it is ideologically constructed as a natal source ... * Proinsias O Drisceoil, The Irish Times *
