Opis

Sheds new light on death and dying in twentieth- and twenty-first century Irish literature. The author examines the ways that Irish wake and funeral rituals shape novelistic discourse. She argues that the treatment of death in Irish novels offers a way of making sense of mortality and provides insight into Ireland's cultural and historical experience of death.
