About this book

The Irish New Woman explores the textual and ideological connections between feminist, nationalist and anti-imperialist writing and political activism at the fin de siècle . This is the first study which foregrounds the Irish and New Woman contexts, effecting a paradigm shift in the critical reception of fin de siècle writers and their work.

Reviews

'O'Toole has admirably accomplished her stated goal of 'complicat[ing] and enrich[ing] conventional narratives of literary history as well as the discourses of gender, sexual and national identities.'' Maureen O'Connor, Irish Literary Supplement
