Description

This scholarly examination explores how nineteenth-century British literature constructed Irish identity through the lens of womanhood, tracing a critical genealogy from Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent through Anthony Trollope's Irish novels. The study begins with Lady Morgan's The Wild Irish Girl, analysing how the heroine's marriage to an Englishman embodies the author's reimagining of Anglo-Irish relations and gender dynamics. By mapping representations of Irishness across the century, the work demonstrates that debates over British national identity were fundamentally shaped by literary portrayals of Irish women. This Routledge volume addresses how novelists used female characters to negotiate complex questions of colonialism, union, and cultural belonging, offering essential insight into the intersection of literary criticism, Irish studies, and nineteenth-century cultural history.
