- Summary
- ""An Anarchy in the Mind and in the Heart": Narrating Anglo-Ireland considers some of Anglo-Ireland's most compelling twentieth-century attempts at self-representation, demonstrating that novels by such authors as Molly Keane, Elizabeth Bowen, and Samuel Beckett constitute richly textured narratives that sustain continuous debates with their own visions and revisions of history and culture. As they confront such explosive topics as land, property, interclass relations, hierarchy, and authority, these novels challenge prevailing tribal myths and, in the process, renovate the "Big House" novel."--BOOK JACKET.
