The Prophetic Voice - Jean Sulivan'S Ongoing Relevance In France And Ireland

by Eamon Maher

~~58,53€~~ 52,68€ 10% OFF

 A deft, masterful study of the life and work of Jean Sulivan. Maher makes a compelling case for the continuing importance of Sulivans writings in challenging times and illuminates crucial and often neglected intersections between faith and fiction. A book to cherish. Michael Cronin (Trinity College Dublin) Thanks to Eamon Mahers tireless work, Sulivans output is now reaching the wider audience in the Anglo-Saxon world it has always deserved. Sulivans depiction of the margins and the marginalised shows us that this is precisely where hope and salvation are often most likely to be found - a message that finds a particular resonance in our increasingly troubled world. Grace Neville, Professor Emerita of French (UCC) This splendid book fills out much of Sulivans extraordinary life, and those unconventional writings that are both penetrating and disturbing. Certainly for those of us who may have difficulty reading Sulivan in French, The Prophetic Voice is of particular benefit and I warmly commend it to Sulivan aficionados and newcomers alike. Richard Clarke, retired Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland The Prophetic Voice reappraises the French priest-writer Jean Sulivans (19131980) relevance as a prophetic voice in France and Ireland at the present moment in time. Sulivan was a well-known and award-winning writer in the 1960s and 70s in France. Along with comparing him to some of the main exponents of the Catholic Novel in France Mauriac and Bernanos Maher also draws insightful parallels between Sulivans portrayal of Catholicism and that of Irish priest-writers such as Canon Sheehan, William King and Tony Flannery, and contemporary figures such as John McGahern and Colum McCann.

Graham Greene, Ireland And The Honorary Consul - A View From The South Of France

by Pierre Joannon

~~33,13€~~ 29,82€ 10% OFF

 These reminiscences of a friendship between Graham Greene and the author over two decades offer several original and significant additions to the knowledge of Greene's beliefs, experiences and involvements throughout his long and turbulent life. It is a brilliant illustration of the multiple connections of Graham Greene with Ireland, many of which would not be known to historians, literary critics or the general public. The relationship of Greene with Irish soldiers, writers and politicians as different as Ernie O'Malley, Seán O'Faoláin, Conor Cruise O'Brien and Gerry Fitt throw light on his deep interest in Irish history, literature and politics.

Sounding The Margins - Literary Examples From France And Ireland

57,24€ + 10% CARD

 Sounding the Margins is the second of two publications to emerge from the highly successful AFIS conference hosted by the Université de Lille in 2019. Concentrating on the literary manifestations of marginality in Ireland and France, the essays treat of various texts that demonstrate the extent to which marginality is a recurring trope. This may well be because writers tend to situate themselves at a distance from the centre or status quo in their desire to maintain a certain degree of artistic objectivity. But it is also the case that literary practitioners tend to identify more easily with others living on the margins, either through choice or circumstances. The collection is a mixture of comparative studies and essays on individual authors but, in all cases, marginality is presented as a liberating experience once it is freely chosen and embraced.

Une Révolutionnaire Irlandaise En France - Maud Gonne Et Linternationale Nationaliste, 1887-1914

by Anne Magny e Pierre Ranger

53,80€ + 10% CARD

 Muse du poète W.B. Yeats mais aussi activiste anglaise au service de lindépendance de lIrlande, Maud Gonne nétait pas à un paradoxe près. Le plus frappant et le moins étudié est sans doute quelle fut une révolutionnaire irlandaise en France. Cest à Paris quelle passa les années les plus intenses de son engagement politique, au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècle. Lobjet de cet ouvrage est donc de considerer la France, son environnement politique, culturel et social,non pas comme un décor mais comme lexplication majeure au militantisme etaux choix politiques de Maud Gonne. Maud Gonne fut boulangiste avant dêtre muse, avant même dêtre une nationaliste irlandaise. Au travers dapproches historique et culturelle qui se complètent et se renforcent, le portrait de Maud Gonne devient aussi le récit dun imaginaire nationaliste où la place accordée à la femme et à son lien avec la terre est essentielle. Cet imaginaire, basé en grande partie sur une pensée mythique, engendra des circulations didées et de personnes et fit des nationalismes français et irlandais de proches parents.En mots et en actes, par lenthousiasme ou lirritation quelle provoquait, Maud Gonne était lun des membres les plus en vue de linternationale nationaliste.

Réception Dedna Obrien, Jennifer Johnston, Et Nuala Ofaolain - Clubs De Lecture Et Forums En Ligne / France, Irlande, Royaume-Uni Et États-Unis

by Jeanne-Marie Carton-Charon

53,00€ + 10% CARD

 Cette étude a été conçue comme un voyage en terre inconnue. Les trois autrices choisies étaient déjà considérées en Irlande et dans le monde, comme représentatives de la littérature irlandaise de la fin du XXe siècle et du début du XXIe. Mais le terrain des réactions de lectrices et lecteurs reste une zone encore peu étudiée. Lenquête a été menée à la recherche dune parole vive, dans des clubs de lecture, et aussi dans des échanges informels sur des forums en ligne. Le travail de Rita Felski, universitaire américaine, a permis de formaliser lanalyse de différentes sources, orales et écrites, provenant dIrlande, de France, mais aussi des États-Unis et du Royaume-Uni, en fournissant de nouvelles perspectives sur le la réception des oeuvres littéraires. La lecture permet une reconnaissance de soi, elle enchante, elle ouvre à de nouvelles connaissances, et parfois choque. Les croisements subtils entre lindétermination qui caractérise plusieurs des romans considérés, et lexpérience des réceptrices et récepteurs issus des différentes zones géographiques étudiées, offrent une réflexion stimulante sur les traits communs de la résonance lectorale, ainsi quun écho puissant des oeuvres des trois écrivaines.
