The most comprehensive corpus of Irish women's writing ever published. A lifelong resource, each encounter prompting fresh insights and new discoveries Features the work of over nine hundred familiar and undiscovered or unappreciated writers. Many of the ...

These algorithms attempt to derive a set of vectors which represent the vocabulary of a textual corpus in a new embedded space. This new representation can then be used to measure the underlying similarity between words. In this paper, we explore the role an author's gender may play in the selection of words that they choose to construct their narratives. Using a curated corpus of forty-eight 19th century novels, we generate, visualise, and investigate word embedding representations using a list of gender-encoded words. This allows us to explore the different ways in which male and female authors of this corpus use terms relating to contemporary understandings of gender and gender roles.

The film is on one level a sumptuous historical romance, on another a feminist biopic, on yet another a complex meditation on the relationship between high modernist art and ordinary human relationships. It challenges the ways in which history and sexuality have been constructed in Irish film throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Both the literary biography and film of Nora explore the nature of sexual and ...

She reads one novel after another as 'a mirror' reflecting the 'inner and outer experience' ofthe novelist. One is tempted to sur? mise that this critical study is for Dalsimer a poor substitute for the biography she would have written had the materials been made available to her. Dalsimer claims to have adopted 'no single methodology' ... Nonetheless her approach is readily identifiable with an Anglo-American ... Lavelle, the individual, in her quest for independence, ...

Martin McLoone, Elizabeth Cullingford, and Cheryl Herr have all commented on the remarkable persistence of this theme in contemporary Irish culture. 2 This essay explores the nature of that persistence and the construction of Irish cultural canons, specifically the canons of modernist Irish drama and contemporary Irish film, in ways that mirror and refract this central theme. Commenting on Neil Jordan's Michael Collins, Cullingford notes Jordan's production diary entry that de Valera was “a father who will betray” Collins:“If de Valera ...

The extraordinary diaries of the novel's author also offer an unusually detailed insight into the alchemical processes that transform historical events, personal stories, political activism, social milieu, friendship, love, and desire into fiction. Read today, it is hard to understand how such a wellwritten novel—one that concerns a defining moment in Irish ...

Yet imprinted on it, in the trajectories of biographical and familial development, was another, organic sense of time, time on the human and biological scale of cycles of birth and death. Stephen Jay Gould, in his work on the emergence of a concept of geological time as infinite and expansive, has argued that there persists in Western thinking, even in scientifi c and ...
