Her book explores, with fascinating intelligence, the sea-change in Irish political thought.& quote; Ray Helmick, S.J., Professor of Conflict Resolution, Boston College'Ella O'Dwyer is a brilliant writer and scholar. Her bookThe Rising of the Moon is a new addition to the treasury of Irish literature; it will be read with relish.' Marianne McDonald, Professor of Classics and Theatre at the University of California, San Diego The Rising of the Moon puts the radical changes in current political dialogue in Ireland into the context of the whole of the 20th century. Exploring the dynamics of power and language, Ella O'Dwyer compares the literature of Beckett, Conrad and Chinua Achebe, amongst others, to accounts of real events in Ireland's political history. She also examines accounts of particular events in Irish history that include Rex Taylor's biography of Michael Collins, Gerry Adams's biography and even messages from hunger-striker Bobby Sands that were smuggled out of prison. In a country where people have been subjected to incarceration and victimization, and where the political discourse is characterised by slogans, repetition, agreement and treaty, the implications for the national language and identity are immense. Ella O'Dwyer shows how oppression has obstructed and fractured the nature of Irish national discourse--and that this fragmented voice is a feature of all postcolonial narrative. 606 $aEnglish literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNationalism and literature$zIreland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitics and literature$zIreland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects$zIreland 606 $aNationalism$zIreland$xHistoriography 606 $aPower (Social sciences) in literature 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zIreland 606 $aPolitical violence in literature 607 $aIreland$xHistory$y20th century$xHistoriography 607 $aIreland$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aIreland$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNationalism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aNationalism$xHistoriography. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) in literature. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aPolitical violence in literature. 676 $a820.9/9417 700 $aO'Dwyer$b Ella$f1959-$01490912 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782016403321 996 $aThe rising of the moon$93712391 997 $aUNINA
