Book Description
Bringing together the diverse and marvelously articulate voices of women of Irish and Irish-American descent, editors Caitriona Moloney and Helen Thompson examine the complicated maps of experience that the women's public, private, and literary lives represent—particularly as they engage in both feminism and postcolonialism. Acknowledging Mary Robinson's revised view of Irish identity—now global rather than local—this work recognizes the importance of identity as a site of mobility. The pieces reveal how complex the terms "feminism" and "postcolonialism" are; they examine how the individual writers see their identities constructed and/or mediated by sexuality. In addition, the book traces common themes of female agency, violence, generational conflicts, migration, emigration, religion, and politics to name a few. As it represents the next wave of Irish women writers, this book offers fresh insight into the work of emerging and established authors and will appeal to a new generation of readers.

Book Description
Edna Longley's second collection of essays for Bloodaxe investigates the links between Irish literature (especially contemporary poetry), Irish culture and Irish politics. The Living Stream takes its title from Yeats's poem 'Easter 1916': 'Hearts with one purpose alone/ Through summer and winter seem/ Enchanted to a stone/ To trouble the living stream...' By questioning the fixed purposes of both nationalism and unionism, literature has helped to make living streams flow in Ireland. Edna Longley shows in particular where recent Northern Irish writing, together with the critical debates it has occasioned, fits into this process of change.In her introduction, which includes a hard-hitting critique of The Field Day Anthology, Edna Longley argues that it's time for Irish literary criticism to adopt the "revisionist" approach that characterises the writing of Irish history, which would mean paying more attention to religious factors, to literary relations with Britain, and to the cultural diversity that underlies creative diversity. These ideas inform her consideration of such topics as: the historical imaginations of Northern Irish poets; Belfast in literature; Protestant writers after Irish Independence; the Thirties generation of Northern Irish writers; the influence of Louis MacNeice; aesthetic differences between poetry from the North and from the Republic. The book also contains a reflection on the 75th anniversary of the Easter Rising, and Edna Longley's controversial pamphlet From Cathleen to Anorexia: The Breakdown of Irelands.
