ReviewsThe methodology . . . is one perfectly suited to the present state of Welsh studies. In other words, the strategy will be to bring Welsh writing to wider attention by placing it in the context not of one but of two powerful, well established and enduringly popular fields of study - that of Irish Studies and of Women's Writing., The methodology . . . is one perfectly suited to the present state of Welsh studies. In other words, the strategy will be to bring Welsh writing to wider attention by placing it in the context not of one but of two powerful, well established and enduringly popular fields of study that of Irish Studies and of Women's Writing., This book is the first comparative study of fiction by late twentieth and twenty-first century women writers from Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales. It breaks new ground in its comparative framework and in exploring texts that deserve more serious critical attention than they have received and which deal with subjects that have been previously absent from or marginalized in Welsh and Irish literary fiction in English. It will therefore be useful to students of literature who have some knowledge of literature from these countries but will also be accessible to readers who are exploring the writing of these countries for the first time. The book will also be of interest to students interested in women's studies, gender studies, and cultural studies as well as Welsh, Irish and Celtic studies and will be written with this in mind.

SynopsisWelsh writing has recently undergone an international renaissance--however, very little of this attention has been directed toward women's fiction. Aimed at a general audience with a broad array of interests, "Contemporary Irish and Welsh Women's Fiction" is the first comparative study of fiction by late-twentieth and twenty-first-century women writers from Ireland, North Ireland, and Wales. This volume breaks new ground in its exploration of rich and critically-deserving texts that have previously been marginalized from much of Welsh and Irish literary fiction in English., Welsh writing has recently undergone an international renaissance--however, very little of this attention has been directed toward women's fiction.
