Maria Edgeworth's Irish Writing: Language, History, Politics de B. Hollingworth

Maria Edgeworth's Irish Writing: Language, History, Politics

Autor B. Hollingworth
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 aug 1997
Edgeworth is regarded as a pioneer in the development of the regional novel and the use of vernacular language. This study investigates her attitudes towards language and regionalism. It shows, by a detailed discussion of her major Irish texts - Castle Rackrent , Essay on Irish Bulls , Ennui , The Absentee and Ormond - how her intellectual 'Lunar' background, and her life in Ireland during the momentous years of the Union is reflected in the form and language of her writing.

Recenzii

'Brian Hollingworth's Maria Edgeworth's Irish Writing is useful and timely as a sustained study of Edgeworth which surveys her writing on Ireland and allows for a reassessment of how Edgeworth can be understood in Irish terms. In pinning down some of the major linguistic strands of Edgeworth's thought and finding unique ways of relating them to an Irish context, Hollingworth has made a very valuable contribution to future understandings of the oral and the textual, the linguistic and the written, the dominant and the subordinate as constituted by Maria Edgeworth.' - Colin Graham, Irish Studies Review
