What of it?’: Figures of Loss in the Migrant Plays of Colm Ó Clubhán; Ed Madden.This is the first book on Irish literature to focus on the theme of loss, and how it is represented in Irish writing. It focuses on how literature is ideally suited to expressions and understanding of the nature of loss, given its ability to access and express emotions, sensations, feelings, and the visceral and haptic areas of experience. Dealing with feelings and with sensations, poems, novels and drama can allow for cathartic expressions of these emotions, as well as for a fuller understanding of what is involved in loss across all situations. The main notion of loss being dealt with is that of death, but feelings of loss in the wake of immigration and of the loss of certainties that defined notions of identity are also analysed. This volume will be of interest to scholars, students and researchers in Irish Studies, loss, memory, trauma, death, and cultural studies.New Directions in Irish and Irish American LiteratureBritish literatureLiterature, Modern—20th centuryLiterature, Modern—21st centuryPoetryFictionBritish and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Contemporary Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000Poetry and Poeticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/824000Fictionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000British literature.Literature, Modern—20th century.Literature, Modern—21st century.Poetry.Fiction.British and Irish Literature.Contemporary Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Poetry and Poetics.Fiction.809.41Flynn Deirdreedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtO'Brien Eugeneedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300040703321Representations of Loss in Irish Literature1910332UNINA
