Tis yourself is a skeleton”
Given the putatively axiomatic connection between Irishness and Catholicism, it is not surprising that the ubiquitous deathbed scene in Irish-American fiction is imbricated with the issue of ethnic identity. In romantic didactic fiction, deathbed scenes are not just religiously coded, but also consolidate diasporic figurations of Irishness. However, this article argues that this tradition is not the only guise in which deathbed scenes feature in …
Seanachie to the New World
From the late 1890s onwards, Donegal writer Seumas MacManus was a frequent contributor to leading American periodicals and was often listed alongside noted American local colour writers. Moreover, the first books he published in America were immediately successful. MacManus rooted his work explicitly in Donegal and its seanchaí tradition, and in the United States in particular his works were positioned as representative of an authentic Celticity.…

Cities and Sustainable Development
When considering the future of the world, one must first and foremost consider the future of its cities. Cities are currently home to more than half the world's population and are projected to encompass the preponderance of all future population growth. Cities also require vast inputs of energy and resources while producing vast outputs of waste. Recognition that these trends are not sustainable has generated a wealth of relevant research. How ci…
Global Legacies of the Great Irish Famine
Famine, home, and transatlantic politics in two late nineteenth-century Irish-American novels
This article analyzes the continuing tensions and influences between political and nationalist self-representations of the Irish in the USA and the Irish in Ireland in James Doran's Zanthon and John Brennan's Erin Mor. As this essay shows, the ostensibly Irish (nationalist) ideologies of these texts are fundamentally transatlantic by nature. They are projected as an interface between Irish nationalism, current American affairs and politics, and B…

Rites of passage
The statue of Annie Moore and her brothers in Cobh, Ireland, is one of the many lieux de mémoire which seek to crystallise the recollections of the Irish exodus to North America between 1845 and 1900. Scholars have examined the monuments erected to commemorate the massive exodus of 1.8 million Irish to Canada and the United States. Hitherto, however, very little attention has been paid to a transatlantic corpus of fiction, mainly written by the s…
