Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Dublins slums were once considered the worst in Europe. The citys tenements were omnipresent and their inhabitants were plagued by poverty. Illuminating the intricate relationship between the dirty cityscape and Dublin literature from 1880 to 1920, this seminal book offers new socio-historical, cultural and political insights into one of the most interesting periods of Irish literature and history. As well as delineating the characteristics of Dublin slum literature as a genre, the book challenges general assumptions about the Literary Revival as a mainly rural movement and discusses representations of slums in a variety of texts by Alpha and Omega, James Connolly, Fannie Gallaher, May Laffan, Seumas OSullivan, Frederick Ryan, James Stephens, Katharine Tynan and many others. In addition, it reassesses W. B. Yeatss and James Joyces literary genealogy in the context of the urban literary-historical discourse and analyses the impact of slums on their writing strategies. This work will be essential reading for scholars and students of Irish literature and cultural history. Dublins slums were once considered the worst in Europe.
