Yeats wrote in 1890 that the man of science is too often a person who has exchanged his soul for a formula, the anti-scientific bent of Irish literature has often been taken as a given. \u003ci\u003eScience, Technology, and Irish Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e brings together leading and emerging scholars of Irish modernism to challenge the stereotype that Irish literature has been unconcerned with scientific and technological change. The collection spotlights authors ranging from James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, Flann O'Brien, and Samuel Beckett to less-studied writers like Emily Lawless, John Eglinton, Denis Johnston, and Lennox Robinson. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaken together, the fifteen original essays in \u003ci\u003eScience, Technology, and Irish Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathryn Conrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815635987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn Conrad\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor and chair of the English department at the University of Kansas and author of \u003ci\u003eLocked in the Family Cell: Gender, Sexuality, and\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Political Agency in Irish National Discourse.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCóilín Parsons\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of English at Georgetown University and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Ordnance Survey and Modern Irish Literature.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulie McCormick Weng\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of English at Texas State University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40660786315379,"sku":"9.78082E+12","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_955752d9-29b9-4efa-a650-2668aa1ec990.jpg?v=1673449984","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/science-technology-and-irish-modernism-9780815635987","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
