Pandemics and the gothic, then and now: A hum in the background
While the assertion, 'no one really wants to talk about COVID anymore', has become a common refrain, cultural evidence suggests otherwise. Rather, cultural materials indicate not only a sustained interest in epidemic and pandemic experiences in the past but also continuing interest in our own pandemic era. However, this interest is often registered through gestures and brief mentions rather than explicit and sustained plague narratives. This pape…

Wel gelun a gud?’: Thomas Sheridan's Brave Irishman and the failure of English
Scholarship on Thomas Sheridan's popular farce The Brave Irishman has to date focused on its engagement with the figure of the ‘stage Irishman’, testing the title character's thick accent and Irish idiom against a standard English that rarely appears in the play itself. This essay considers the farce on broader terms, addressing both regional variations in the play's performance and the other idioms of the play, in order to argue that the farce o…
Ireland, India and Nationalism in Nineteenth-Century Literature
In this innovative study Julia M. Wright addresses rarely asked questions: how and why does one colonized nation write about another? Wright focuses on the way nineteenth-century Irish writers wrote about India, showing how their own experience of colonial subjection and unfulfilled national aspirations informed their work. Their writings express sympathy with the colonised or oppressed people of India in order to unsettle nineteenth-century impe…
Captivating Subjects: Writing Confinement, Citizenship, and Nationhood in the Nineteenth Century
This volume is the first sustained examination of the ways in which the diverse kinds of confinement intersect with Western ideologies of subjectivity, investigating the modern nation-state's reliance on captivity as a means of consolidating notions of individual and national sovereignty
The Romantic National Tale and the Question of Ireland
Strange Country: Modernity and Nationhood in Irish Writing since 1790
This book traces the emergence of a self-consciously national tradition in Irish writing from the era of the French Revolution and, specifically, from Edmund Burke's counter-revolutionary writings. From Gerald Griffin's The Collegians to Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Joyce, Synge, and Yeats, Irish writing is dominated by a number of inherited issues-those of national character, of conflict between discipline and excess, of division between the langua…
The Nation Begins to Form: Competing Nationalisms in Morgan's The O'Briens and the O'Flahertys
The Nation Begins to Form”: Competing Nationalisms in Morgan’s The O’Brien’s and the O’Flahertys Julia M. Wright Free spirits, we fly to the fair land of freedom, We’ll make our harps heard o’er the roll of the waves, Cast our robes to the winds—we no longer shall need ‘em— And smile at the custom and costume of slaves! —“A Speech, to the Tune of the Emerald Isle” 1 Writing in the midst of intense political turmoil, from the United Irishmen agita…
Diogenes in Disguise: Inversion and Identity in The Confidence-Man
Herman Melville's narrative, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade (CM), is a convoluted work which defies fundamental conventions of the novel. There is no continuing plot or ensemble of characters to lend it coherence, but only a common setting for a collection of episodes, and even that is in flux. The narrative takes place on April Fool's Day aboard a riverboat, ironically named the Fidèle, which stops periodically for some of its passengers to …
