Raktažodžiai:
This original and engaging study explores the way in which Colm Tóibķn repeatedly identifies and disrupts the boundaries between personal and political or social histories in his fiction. Through this collapsing of boundaries, he examines the cost of broader political exclusions and considers how personal and political narratives shape individual subjects. Each of Tóibķns novels is comprehensively addressed here, as are his non-fiction works, reviews, plays, short stories, and some as-yet-unpublished work. The book situates Tóibķn not only within his contemporary literary milieu, but also within the contexts of the Irish literary tradition, contemporary Irish politics, Irish nationalism, and theories of psychology, gender, nationalism, and postcolonialism.

Recenzijos

«Costello-Sullivans meticulous research and extensive bibliography will be valuable to any scholar studying Tóibķns writing, and her thought-provoking interpretations of his novels will generate lively critical discussions.» (Mary Fitzgerald-Hoyt, New Hibernia Review 17, 2013/3)





«Much work has been done by feminists working in Irish Studies, by scholars exploring LGBTQ literary and cultural studies in the Irish context [ ...]; Mother/Country is, to my knowledge, the most probing and developed such exploration to date.»

(Margot Backus, Irish Literary Supplement 2016)
