Description
(Text)
Irish Studies in Europe is the title of a series of publications in Irish Studies whose thematic and methodological range goes well beyond literary studies to include aspects of cultural studies in the broadest sense. The main emphasis is, of course, on the island of Ireland (the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland) as well as the Irish diaspora in all aspects of society, history, culture, literature, the arts, and the media. The "European" dimension suggested by the series title is an indication of a priorion of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies (EFACIS), under whose aegis the series is published.Contents:Narrating the Community: The Short Story Cycles of Val Mulkerns and Mary Beckett (Elke D'hoker) - 'The End of the World as We Know It': New Narrative Forms for a New Era in Contemporary Fiction from the North of Ireland?
