Covering a vast historical terrain from the sixteenth century to the present, it spotlights the work of canonical, understudied, and contemporary authors in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and among diasporic Irish communities. By focusing on questions related to Black Irish identities, Irish whiteness, Irish racial sciences, postcolonial solidarities, and decolonial strategies to address racialization, the volume moves beyond the familiar frameworks of British/Irish and Catholic/Protestant binarisms and demonstrates methods for Irish Studies scholars to engage with the question of race from a contemporary perspective.

With chapters on naturalism, futurism, dynamite, gramophones, uncertainty, astronomy, automobiles, and more, this book showcases the far-reaching scope and complexity of Irish writers’ engagement with innovations in science and technology.

Taken together, the fifteen original essays in Science, Technology, and Irish Modernism map a new literary landscape of Ireland in the twentieth century. By focusing on writers’ often-ignored interest in science and technology, this book uncovers shared concerns between revivalists, modernists, and late modernists that challenge us to rethink how we categorize and periodize Irish literature.

Rather than condemn these female cyclists, Joyce's narrative admires them and shows that women can be both skilled bicyclists on the road and, in a metaphorical sense, biological cyclists (through menstruation and childbearing) that physically enact a self-propulsion similar to cyclists. As these actual and metaphorical cyclists propel through various terrains and biological sequences, they simultaneously author(ize) their own personal narratives and, in doing so, the composition of all narratives involving human life. Moreover, Joyce's female cyclist is not only a figure of liberated female sexuality but also a figure of the artist herself.
