Description

Explore the profound role of death imagery in Irish writing through this scholarly collection from Liverpool University Press. From the famine-era bodies in classic fiction to Joyce's literary dead and Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill's innovative talking corpses, this volume traces how the corpse functions as a conceptually rich symbol across Irish literature's historical periods. The collection examines these figures within their distinct social, political and creative contexts, revealing how Irish writers have used death and bodily remains to explore identity, trauma and cultural transformation. This critical study demonstrates how the corpse moves beyond mere gothic imagery to become a centre-point for understanding meaning-making in Irish literary tradition, from nineteenth-century famine narratives through contemporary Celtic Tiger fiction.

Key Features

Examines how different Irish writers including Synge, Joyce and Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill employ death symbolism.

Explores the corpse as a conceptually rich literary device with multiple social and political implications.

Traces the evolution of death representation across distinct historical periods in Irish writing.
