| Book Description | Women's Life Writing and Early Modern Ireland provides an original perspective on both new and familiar texts in this first critical collection to focus on seventeenth-century women's life writing in a specifically Irish context. By shifting the focus away from England-even though many of these writers would have identified themselves as English-and making Ireland and Irishness the focus of their essays, the contributors resituate women's narratives in a powerful and revealing landscape. This volume addresses a range of genres, from letters to book marginalia, and a number of different women, from now-canonical life writers such as Mary Rich and Ann Fanshawe to far less familiar figures such as Eliza Blennerhassett and the correspondents and supplicants of William King, archbishop of Dublin. The writings of the Boyle sisters and the Duchess of Ormonde-women from the two most important families in seventeenth-century Ireland-also receive a thorough analysis. These innovative and nuanced scholarly considerations of the powerful influence of Ireland on these writers' construction of self, provide fresh, illuminating insights into both their writing and their broader cultural context. |
| Editorial Review | This is an outstanding contribution to women's writing in Ireland-an impeccable, original, and genuinely transformative work of scholarship. It is an extraordinarily rich and insightful volume. The volume has multiple virtues: a capacious sense of what constitutes life-writing, the concentration on a particular national-regional configuration, the use of Ireland as experience and point of reference, and the concentration of Ireland as a site and a stimulus. This is a work, then, considerably larger than the sum of its parts.-Ramona Wray, reader in Renaissance literature in the School of English at Queen's University Belfast -- Ramona Wray "This volume will serve as a landmark contribution to both Irish studies and early modern women's literary history, offering not only essays on new authors and texts but also pointing the way forward for future work on this country's complex national identity and literary history."-Margaret J. M. Ezell, Distinguished Professor of English and the Sara and John Lindsey Chair of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University -- Margaret J. M. Ezell "This book is an interesting and valuable contribution to studies on women's writing, life writing, and early modern Ireland."-Emily Chambers, Journal of British Studies -- Emily Chambers * Journal of British Studies * |
