ABSTRACT:This article examines the ways in which Irish women writers have employed the Irish domestic interior as a representation of the female body in national politics from the late nineteenth century through the present. Using The Burning of Bridget Cleary, Angela Bourke’s classic case study of the murder of a nineteenth-century woman, to introduce the biopolitics underlying the modern Irish female body as a metaphor for the Irish nation, this article shows how that metaphor continues to resonate in twentieth-century texts written both during Irish independence and the massive economic changes of the Celtic Tiger years. Comparing work by Elizabeth Bowen and Pamela Hinkson to the contemporary detective fiction of Tana French, I argue that both the modernist era and the period after the fall of the Celtic Tiger, particularly after the great recession of 2008, were transformative times in Ireland where discussions of Irish feminine subjectivity offered hybridized understandings of gender and power during moments of great change for the nation. The textual reverberations of the Bridget Cleary story show us how a woman’s body can become a metonymical symbol for both progress and oppression in modern Ireland, exposing the tense relationship between modernity and tradition in Irish culture that is the backbone of Irish identity throughout much of the twentieth century.
摘要:本文考察了从19世纪末到现在,爱尔兰女作家在国家政治中运用爱尔兰家庭内部作为女性身体代表的方式。利用安吉拉·伯克(Angela Bourke)对一名19世纪女性谋杀案的经典案例研究《布里奇特·克利里的燃烧》(The Burning of Bridget Cleary),介绍了现代爱尔兰女性身体背后的生物政治,以此隐喻爱尔兰民族,这篇文章展示了这种隐喻是如何在爱尔兰独立期间和凯尔特虎时代的巨大经济变化期间的20世纪文本中继续引起共鸣的。将伊丽莎白·鲍恩(Elizabeth Bowen)和帕梅拉·欣克森(Pamela Hinkson,在爱尔兰的变革时代,对爱尔兰女性主体性的讨论在国家发生重大变化的时刻,提供了对性别和权力的混合理解。布里奇特·克利里故事的文本反响向我们展示了女性的身体如何成为现代爱尔兰进步和压迫的转喻象征,揭示了爱尔兰文化中现代性和传统之间的紧张关系,而传统是整个二十世纪爱尔兰身份的支柱。

ABSTRACT:This article examines the ways in which telegraph fiction by women authors imagined heroines whose jobs allowed them to subvert gender norms and take control of their lives. This fiction simultaneously challenged the assumptions of male writers about women telegraph operators and rewrote the genre conventions of sentimental fiction. Writers such as Lida A. Churchill and Ella Cheever Thayer represented the telegraph office as a site of professional and personal development in which disembodied communication over the telegraph uniquely transcended divisions of gender, space, and social sphere. This essay will discuss three areas in which telegraph work benefited women: financial independence, greater romantic freedom, and increased peer community support. It argues that this long-overlooked microgenre of fiction is significant from both a literary and historical perspective.

Focusing on eight writers and artists, this book examines the centrality of the countryside to women’s work, creativity, and aspirations in early twentieth-century England. The authors introduce us to figures who should be better known today: educators, artists, novelists, poets, and memoirists. Divided into four parts, with foci on professions and education, the transformation of the countryside, arts and crafts, and dislocation and loss, this book by a literature scholar and an art historian brings an interdisciplinary perspective, providing a unique view of women’s responses to such major issues of the twentieth-century as war, industrialization, modernist ideology, and gender. From Mary Watts’s remarkable pottery to Beatrix Potter’s work as a children’s author and environmentalist to Dora Carrington’s haunting paintings and Vita Sackville-West’s Sissinghurst Castle Garden, this book challenges readers to rethink the early twentiethcentury through the lens of their work.
