Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. The Distance of Irish Modernism interrogates the paradox through which Irish modernist fictions have become containers for national and transnational histories while such texts are often oblique and perverse in terms of their times and geographies. John Greaney explores this paradox to launch a metacritical study of the modes of inquiry used to define Irish modernism in the 21st century. Focused on works by Samuel Beckett, Elizabeth Bowen, John McGahern, Flann O'Brien and Kate O'Brien, this book analyses how and if the complex representational strategies of modernist fictions provide a window on historical events and realities. Greaney deploys close reading, formal analysis, narratology and philosophical accounts of literature alongside historicist and materialist approaches, as well as postcolonial and world literature paradigms, to examine how modernist texts engage the cultural memories they supposedly transmit. Emphasizing the proximities and the distances between modernist aesthetic practice and the history of modernity in Ireland and beyond, this book enables a new model for narrating Irish modernism.

Hardback. Condition: New. Flann O'Brien and the Nonhuman is the first book to explore in detail the author's interest in the agency, materiality, and potential sentience of environments, animals and machines. At every turn, O'Brien's writing challenges anthropocentric values and troubles conventional notions of the human. We think of the cast of At Swim-Two-Birds (which features the bird-man Sweeney, a Pooka, and a cow who is called as a star witness in the author's trial) and The Third Policeman's uncanny topographies and atomic hybridisation of people and bicycles, as well as the rain-soaked landscapes, Irish-speaking pigs, and human-seals of An B al Bocht. Yet, O'Brien's deconstruction of conventional narratives of the human-nonhuman binary extends across genres, from the protagonist's strange metamorphosis into a train in the short story 'John Duffy's Brother' to Cruiskeen Lawn's steam men; from O'Brien's stage adaptation of the Capeks' Insect Play to the donkey's tragedy in his late-career teleplay The Man with Four Legs. Drawing on a wide range of methodologies (ecocriticism, the blue humanities, animal studies, cyborg theory, disability studies, posthumanism), paradigms (the Anthropocene, climate change) and theorists (Derrida, Serres, Ngai, Deleuze, Guattari, Braidotti, Saltes, Morton), the contributors unearth new historical contexts for the study of O'Brien, including the long-term impact of the Great Famine, the use of coercive emergency powers during the 1930s and the biopolitical role of air during the Second World War. These interventions not only bring new dimensions of O'Brien's work to the surface, but reveal him as a key but overlooked figure for understanding the role of the nonhuman in Irish modernist cultural production.
