In these works, she weighs up the aftermath of violence and the impact of the shift to a more open but materialist society in the country overall. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMemory, trauma, and the abiding but elusive links between the past and the present are central concerns of her fiction. This pioneering set of essays by leading experts in Irish Studies explores the many dimensions of her novels from a wide variety of perspectives. Madden's skill at interweaving novels of ideas with artist novels that draw out the complex inner predicaments of her characters is highlighted. States of dislocation are concentrated on in her texts, but also the quest for a home in the world and a lasting set of values that allows for personal integrity and authenticity. These multifaceted explorations bear out the compelling and enduring aspects of Madden's highly regarded novels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920559980702,"sku":"ING-9781526179074","price":56.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526179074.jpg?v=1782823891","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526179074","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
