Description
Irish Writers and the Thirties: Art, Exile and War explores a previously overlooked chapter in 1930s literary history. This study focuses on four Irish writers - Leslie Daiken, Charles Donnelly, Ewart Milne and Michael Sayers - who were part of the Popular Front cultural movements. Their lives and work are examined through their writings, witness texts, and political activism, shedding new light on the internationalist aspects of a Leftist cultural history. The book also sheds light on Irish literary women on the Left, who defied marginalization. By re-examining what constitutes Irish literature in the mid-twentieth century, this study illustrates how Irish writers played a role in a transforming political moment of the twentieth century. This research will be of interest to scholars and students of cultural history, literature, Irish diaspora studies, Jewish studies, and the social and literary history of the Thirties.
