Recenzii
Ireland, Revolution and the English Modernist Imagination is a fascinating and engaging read. Patten explores and exposes the contradictory position of the Irish in English modernist literature as at once both peripheral and central.
...Acutely observed study of a topic long overdue critical treatment, English literary responses to the Irish revolution and cultural revival. Written with stylistic brio and drawing on extensive research in primary, secondary, and archival sources.
In this engaging, impeccably researched, and well-written book, Eve Patten recalibrates our critical vision to consider how Ireland has been imagined by English modernists to address the state of England and to push their own country, variously, in more liberal and more conservative directions.
Those working in both Irish studies and in Anglo-American modernism more broadly will find much to appreciate, then, in this compelling, well-researched, and engagingly written work.
Patten's argument has an accumulative force, making a convincing case for how certain English modernists engaged with and depicted Ireland in their fiction to express their hopes for their own country, thereby producing a book that should be of interest to those working in both Irish and Modernist Studies.
Compelling for its innovative research, impressive scope and analytical richness, this illuminating book will certainly seed other studies.... [...]... It is much to the credit of Patten's resonant work that it testifies to the importance of reading Irish, English, and imperial literatures in the modernist era not as separate cordoned off domains but in prismatic relationship to each other.
What Patten has most compellingly identified through her use of Irish references are the "challenges, and weaknesses, of English self-definition." Her deep immersion in Irish Studies bears fruit, not so much in the contextualization of Irish material, which is not her true focus, but rather in the ways that English national confusion so closely mirrored Ireland's. Ireland, Revolution, and the English Modernist Imagination is a welcome addition to Irish Studies, but should be required reading for any scholar of English modernism, and will be the start of a long and productive conversation.
