Description: Writing from the Margins of EuropeThe Application of Postcolonial Theories to Selected Works by William Butler Yeats, John Millington Synge and James Joyce Author(s): Rachael Sumner Format: Hardback Publisher: Peter Lang AG, Switzerland Imprint: Peter Lang AG ISBN-13: 9783631650509, 978-3631650509 Synopsis The application of postcolonial theories to Irish literature remains a contentious issue. Unlike other colonised nations, Ireland shared a long history of political, economic and artistic ties with its empire-building neighbour, Britain. Yet the Irish response to the project of British imperialism bears comparison with postcolonial models of the relationship between colonisers and the colonised. Writing from the Margins of Europe assesses the potential for postcolonial analysis of works by W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge and James Joyce. In this exploration of postcolonial parallels between these writers, the author focuses on four core issues: historiography, nationalism, language and displacement.
