Irish Women's Fiction examines women's novels up to and following the establishment of the Irish state, the period of the Second World War, the Second Wave feminism of the 1970s, to postmodernism in the 1990s.  Heather Ingman discusses Irish women's writing across all major genres, both literary and popular.

The topic of Irish women's writing is still a neglected one, with women's novels too often sidelined, despite the international recognition gained by prize-winning novelists such as Anne Enright and Emma Donoghue, among others.

Describing the circumstances of women's writing lives, as well as the themes with which they deal, Irish Women's Fiction is written in an accessible style and is the first ever single-volume survey of Irish women's writing and writers, bringing Irish women writers back in to the canon of Irish literature.

Heather Ingman is Adjunct Professor in the School of English, Trinity College, Dublin.  Her publications include Women's Inter-War Fiction: Mothers, Daughters and Writing (1998), Twentieth-Century Fiction by Irish Women: Nation and Gender (2007) and A History of the Irish Short Story (2009).

I'm always careful with my packaging and will make sure the book is well-protected against both water damage and any careless handling it might receive in transit.  Read my feedback and buy in confidence.
