Irish American Fiction from World War II to JFK: Anxiety, Assimilation, and Activism: New Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature

Autor Beth O’Leary Anish
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 noi 2022
Irish American Fiction from World War II to JFK addresses the concerns of Irish America in the post-war era by studying its fiction and the authors who brought the communities of their youth to life on the page.  With few exceptions, the novels studied here are lesser-known works, with little written about them to date. Mining these tremendous resources for the details of Irish American life, this book looks back to the beginning of the twentieth century, when the authors' immigrant grandparents were central to their communities.  It also points forward to the twenty-first century, as the concerns these authors had for the future of Irish America have become a legacy we must grapple with in the present.
