Norah Hoult's `Poor Women!': A Critical Edition (Anthem Irish Studies)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (24694 ratings)

Description:Irish author (Eleanor) Norah Hoult (1898 1984) traveled in prominent literary circles and corresponded actively with some of the leading Irish authors of her time, including Brigid Brophy, Sean O Casey, and Sean O Faolain. Critics today compare her not only to O Faolain and Frank O Connor, but also to novelists Kate O Brien and Edna O Brien. Despite her reputation and a forty-four year publishing career, however, Hoult and her work remain surprisingly neglected.This edition rectifies this critical oversight and introduces Hoult s short story collection, 'Poor Women!', to a new generation of readers. 'Poor Women!' displays Hoult s subtlety and humor as an author and her nature as a keen witness to human frailty. In these stories, Hoult unflaggingly highlights the restrictions imposed on her characters by society and its institutions: she thus provides a window into the social, literary and political milieu from which she hails.Largely cited for its engagement with women s and religious issues, 'Poor Women!' thus also displays a keen awareness of wider historical issues like the challenges of war and of cultural identity construction. Her incisive portraits capture the emotional paralysis of her characters and their self-delusions. Such thematic and stylistic emphases invite further comparison to better-known contemporary Irish literary giants like James Joyce and Mary Lavin."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
