The Anglican Ascendancy was historically referred to as a "middle nation" between Ireland and Britain, and this book is an examination of the various ways in which Irish Anglican writers have signalled their Irish/British hybridity. "British" elements in their work are pointed out, but so are manifestations of their proud Irishness and what Elizabeth Bowen called her community's "subtle ... anti-Englishness." Crucially, this book discusses several writers often excluded from the "truly" Irish canon, including (among others) Laurence Sterne, Elizabeth Griffith, and C.S. Lewis. David Clare is Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Studies at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland. He previously held two IRC-funded postdoctoral fellowships at NUI Galway, Ireland. His books include the monograph Bernard Shaw's Irish Outlook (2016) and the edited collection The Gate Theatre, Dublin: Inspiration and Craft (2018). 606 $aTheater 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAnglican Communion 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aNational and Regional Theatre and Performance 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aAnglicanism 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAnglican Communion. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 14$aNational and Regional Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aAnglicanism. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 676 $a820.99415 676 $a820.99415088283 700 $aClare$b David$f1971-$0849096 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484407303321 996 $aIrish Anglican Literature and Drama$92084175 997 $aUNINA
