third chapter entirely dedicated to its specific
or comparative examination, but her collec-
tions of poetry and the other five novels have
also garnered single or comparative critical
attention from the present contributors .
From The Whirlpool to A Map of Glass, the
uncanny array of Urquhart’s resurgent colours
makes us see «through the power of the
written word» that there is a genuine mystery
in art and a real place for wonder . It is
the resurgence of such innermost forces, in
the creative and critical landscapes of contemporaneity,
that the present collection
aims at bringing forth .

Irish Women Writers
New Critical Perspectives
fter a decade in which women writers
have gradually been given more recognition
in the study of Irish literature, this
collection proposes a reappraisal of Irish
women’s writing by inviting dialogues with
new or hitherto marginalised critical frameworks
as well as with foreign and transnational
literary traditions . Several essays explore
how Irish women writers engaged with
European themes and traditions through
the genres of travel writing, the historical
novel, the monologue and the fairy tale .
Other contributions are concerned with the
British context in which some texts were
Oxford, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt am Main, New York, Wien, 2011 .

published and argue for the existence of Irish
inflections of phenomena such as the New
Woman, suffragism or vegetarianism . Further
chapters emphasise the transnational
character of Irish women’s writing by applying
continental theory and French feminist
thinking to various texts; in other chapters
new developments in theory are applied to
Irish texts for the first time . Casting the efforts
of Irish women in a new light, the collection
also includes explorations of the work
of neglected or emerging authors who have
remained comparatively ignored by Irish literary
criticism .
