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. 410 0$aNew Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aPoetry 606 $aFiction 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aPoetry and Poetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/824000 606 $aFiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aFiction. 615 14$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aFiction. 676 $a809.41 702 $aFlynn$b Deirdre$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aO'Brien$b Eugene$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300040703321 996 $aRepresentations of Loss in Irish Literature$91910332 997 $aUNINA
