The Emergence of Irish Gothic Fiction - Histories, Origins, Theories
Jarlath Killeen · Trinity College Dublin
This book provides a robustly theorized and thoroughly historicized account of the ‘beginnings' of Irish gothic fiction, maps the theoretical terrain covered by other critics, and puts forward a new history of the emergence of the genre in Ireland. The main argument the book makes is that the Irish gothic should be read in the context of the split in Irish Anglican public opinion that opened in the 1750s, and seen as a fictional instrument of Anglican opinion in a changing political landscape.
