Description
Science, Technology and Irish Modernism brings together leading scholars to challenge the stereotype that Irish literature has been unconcerned with scientific and technological change. This collection of essays explores how Irish writers engaged with innovations in science and technology, from naturalism to futurism, and features works by authors such as James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, Flann O'Brien, and Samuel Beckett. The book showcases the far-reaching scope and complexity of Irish writers' engagement with science and technology, covering topics including dynamite, gramophones, uncertainty, astronomy, and automobiles. By focusing on this often-overlooked aspect of Irish literature, the authors map a new literary landscape of Ireland in the twentieth century. This collection offers a fresh perspective on Irish modernism, highlighting shared concerns between revivalists, modernists, and late modernists that challenge traditional periodization of Irish literature.
