  • Fragmentation and Vulnerability in Anne Enright´S the Green Road (2015): Collateral Casualties of the Celtic Tiger in Ireland
    International Journal of IJES English Studies UNIVERSITY OF MURCIA http://revistas.um.es/ijes Fragmentation and vulnerability in Anne Enright´s The Green Road (2015): Collateral casualties of the Celtic Tiger in Ireland MARIA AMOR BARROS-DEL RÍO* Universidad de Burgos (Spain) Received: 14/12/2016. Accepted: 26/05/2017. ABSTRACT This article explores the representation of family and individuals in Anne Enright's novel The Green Road (2015) by engaging with Bauman's sociological category of “liquid modernity” (2000). In The Green Road, Enright uses a recurrent topic, a family gathering, to observe the multiple forms in which particular experiences seem to have suffered a process of fragmentation during the Celtic Tiger period. A comprehensive analysis of the form and plot of the novel exposes the ideological contradictions inherent in the once hegemonic notion of Irish family and brings attention to the different forms of individual vulnerability, aging in particular, for which Celtic Tiger Ireland has no answer. KEYWORDS: Anne Enright, The Green Road, Ireland, contemporary fiction, Celtic Tiger, mobility, fragmentation, vulnerability, aging. 1. INTRODUCTION Ireland's central decades of the 20th century featured a nationalism characterized by self- sufficiency and a marked protectionist policy. This situation changed in the 1960s and 1970s when external cultural influences through the media, growing flows of migration and economic transformations initiated by the government, together with the weakening of the Welfare State, progressively transformed a rural new-born country into an international _____________________ *Address for correspondence: María Amor Barros-del Río.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

    THE COMIC HERO AND HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS WOMEN IN A STAR CALLED HENRY AND OH, PLAY THAT THING IRENE CUBAS RÉGULO TUTORA: AÍDA DÍAZ BILD FACULTAD DE HUMANIDADES | SECCIÓN DE FILOLOGÍA GRADO EN ESTUDIOS INGLESES LA LAGUNA, JULIO 2015 INDEX 1. ABSTRACT 1 2. INTRODUCTION 2 3. COMEDY AND THE COMIC HERO 4 4. THE NOVELS 10 5. HENRY AS A COMIC HERO 12 6. WOMEN 14 6. 1. ANNIE 16 6. 2. GRANNY NASH 19 6. 3. MISS O’SHEA 22 7. CONCLUSION 28 8. LIST OF WORKS CITED 30 1. ABSTRACT This work pretends to analyse the behaviour of the main character of the novels A Star Called Henry and Oh, Play That Thing, two novels of the same author, in order to show that their protagonist’s attitude as a comic hero can be perceived in his relationship with three fe- male characters. The main character’s name is Henry Smart, who is the same protagonist in the two novels, and the three female characters I focus on are Annie, Granny Nash and Miss O’Shea. Henry’s behaviour towards them is also examined to show his attitude as a comic hero, since it can be perceived in his relationship with them. In order to do so I divide the main body of the work into three parts: in the first one I explain what comedy is, how it has been considered and its most important features. This part also contains who the comic hero is, focusing on the comic virtues that characterise him based on the theory of Hyers about comedy, The Spirituality of Comedy, complementing it with the ones by Morreall, Bakhtin, Bergson and Gutwirth.

  • Claire M. Tylee
    EnterText 3.2 CLAIRE M. TYLEE Issues of Racial Masquerade: Jewish Assimilation to Englishness in Bernice Rubens’ Mate in Three Bernice Rubens commenced her long career of virtuoso, prize-winning works in 1960. They range across a variety of genres including thrillers, historical novels and social comedies as well as the family saga, and the success of several was increased by their adaptation to film or television.1 Rubens is one of Britain’s best-recognised Jewish authors, and although some of her novels have no Jewish characters at all, the first four were firmly anchored in Jewish families. They culminated in The Elected Member, which won the Booker Prize in 1969. The sardonic humour of Rubens’ vision joyfully embraces the gothic and the surreal, delving into taboo topics such as cross-dressing, incest, rape and murder, with a gallery of monstrous mothers and eccentric bachelors. This would seem to place her alongside writers such as Beryl Bainbridge in a robustly comic tradition stemming from Dickens. However, I want to suggest she has also contributed to the Woman’s Novel, the more genteel tradition of Elizabeth Bowen, Rosamund Lehman and Elizabeth Taylor. This was a genre first identified by Nicola Beauman in 1983 with her study of books by women written between 1914 and 1939. She defined it as consisting of novels that are not concerned with adventure or dramatic action, but with “the steadfast dailiness” of (domestic) life. Olga Kenyon and Clare Hanson have extended our understanding of this “fiction, written mainly Tylee: Racial Masquerade in Rubens’ Mate in Three 76 EnterText 3.2 by women, with women readers in mind” beyond World War II, as including books by such writers as Margaret Drabble, Fay Weldon and Anita Brookner.2 Rubens has followed her Jewish predecessor, Betty Miller, in an attempt to politicise the genre and use it critically.

  • Cultural Nationalism and the Irish Literary Revival
    International Journal of English Studies Cultural Nationalism and the Irish Literary Revival DAVID PIERCE' York St John College The impact of cultural nationalism on the Insh Literary Revival is a topic of continuing interest for the cultural critic and literary historian alike. In recent years, with the Fa11 of the Berlin Wall, political scientists and others, suchas A.D. Smith, Ernest Gellner, and E.J. Hobsbawm, have also focused on the subject of nationalism. The intention here in this article is to revisit a familiar site in the light of these new ideas and to test their validity or appropriateness in the Irish context. The article, part of a larger project to be published in 2003 by Polity Press under the title A Cultural History of Twentieth-Century Irish Literature, is divided into 5 sections: What ish my Nation?; What is a Nation?; Do Nations Have Navels?; 1890s: Winds of Change; English As We Speak It In Ireland. Among Irish authors discussed are Hyde, Shaw. Yeats, Wilde, Lady Gregory, Joyce, and Beckett. KEYWORDS: cultural nationalism; nationalism; colonial encounter; Irishness; Literary Revival; language and identity; Hiberno-English. If we enter a classroom almost anywhere in the world and ask for the names of Irish writers, the response will almost certainly be imrnediate and enthusiastic: Yeats, Joyce, O'Casey, Brendan Behan, J.P. Donleavy, Roddy Doyle.

I n truth, there have been hundreds of efforts to define this most tantalising and elusive of fictional forms, most of them as unhelpful as Flannery O'Connor's: "A story is a way to say something that can't be said any other way. Humor, tragedy, emotion, and other sentiments run through the various stories here. Granta's Best of Young issues, released Oct 29, Shane rated it it was amazing. Enright's choice is a shrewd one, succeeding in typifying each writer whilst expressing their uniqueness. T his excellent miscellany of modern short fiction from Ireland begins and ends with a road accident. Deft and often devastating, these short stories dodge the rolling mythologies of Irish life to produce truths that are delightful and real.

But though I am not a romantic, I am quite passionate about the whole business of being an Irish writer. From Nobel laureates to debut novelists, international translations to investigative journalism, each themed issue of Granta turns the attention of the world's best writers on to one aspect of the way we live now. They are. This is a slow read. I loved this collection of contemporary Irish short stories.
