Ferris offers the first full-length study of the chief genre to emerge out of the political problem of Union: the national tale, an intercultural and mostly female-authored fictional mode that articulated Irish grievances to English readers. Ferris draws on current theory and archival research to show how the national tale crucially intersected with other public genres such as travel narratives, critical reviews and political discourse. In this fascinating study, Ferris shows how the national tales of Morgan, Edgeworth, Maturin, and the Banim brothers dislodged key British assumptions and foundational narratives of history, family and gender in the period. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Romanticism ;$v51. 517 3 $aThe Romantic National Tale & the Question of Ireland 606 $aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNationalism and literature$zIreland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNationalism in literature 606 $aRomanticism$zIreland 606 $aIrish question 607 $aIreland$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aIreland$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNationalism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNationalism in literature. 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aIrish question. 676 $a820.9358 700 $aFerris$b Ina$01026691 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450342603321 996 $aThe romantic national tale and the question of Ireland$92441746 997 $aUNINA
