Irish Presidents, critics, and media initiatives focus on how Irishness is a global resource chiefly informed by the experiences of an Irish diaspora predominantly working in English, while also reminding Irish people 'at home' that Irish is the 'national tongue'. In returning to some of Ireland's major expat writers and international diplomats, this book examines the economic reasons for their migration, the opportunities they gained by working abroad (sometimes for the British Empire), and their experiences of writing and governing in non-native English speaking communities such as China and Hong Kong. It argues that their concerns about belonging, loneliness, the desire to buy a place 'back home', and losing a language are shared by today's generation of social network expatriates. 410 0$aNew Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature,$x2731-3190 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aWorld Literature 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 676 $a491.62 700 $aO'Sullivan$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0855644 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300038903321 996 $aIrish Expatriatism, Language and Literature$91910331 997 $aUNINA
