Hardback. Condition: New. Irish folklore is replete with images of the monstrous feminine. The wandering witch, the wailing banshee, the mysterious changeling and others recur throughout folktales and have become well-known through contemporary depictions in books and on screens. In the wake of recent feminist thinking, online movements, and revelations of gender-based violence in state institutions such as the Magdalene Laundries, women writers in Ireland and abroad have found new ways to adapt this folklore, addressing the underlying tensions inherent to these stories and reevaluating traditional myths.In Banshees, Hags, and Changelings, Molly Ferguson examines how women writers and the recent cultural feminist reckoning in Ireland allow for a reappraisal of the subjects of these folktales and the anxieties they address. Exploring contemporary works, with attention paid to examples in science fiction and YA literature, Ferguson identifies the cultural processing of trauma resulting from gender-based violence through reconsiderations of the monstrous and the tensions that lie beneath each tale.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Companion to the Contemporary Irish Novel traces the cultural shift that began in the 1980s and continues through new ideological structures, new ways of telling stories, and a radically transformed sense of the very meaning of Irishness. This period of relentless disruption of Ireland's social, demographic, religious, and economic frames also offered immense imaginative possibilities to its writers. In direct contrast to the longer history of Irish writing's persistent fascination with stasis, insularity, tradition, and paralysis, this volume addresses one of the most tumultuous periods of social transformation in Irish history. Defined more by change and structural transformation as the guiding principles, this is a period of shifting values, a reimagining of cultural frames, and a rewriting of the primary narratives of what it meant to be Irish. Bringing together scholars from across the field, Companion to the Contemporary Irish Novel explores the anxieties expressed and examined within Irish contemporary novels to offer a complete contextualized reading that traces vital changes in Irish government, economy, social values, and national identity.…
