Irish Culture and The People: Populism and its Discontents by Seamus O'Malley Ha

Description: Irish Culture and The People by Seamus O'Malley This study argues that populism has been a shaping force in Irish literary culture. Synthesizing existing scholarship on populism, it explores how Irish texts have evoked The People--a crucial rhetorical move for populist discourse--while also examining literary critiques of Irish populisms. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book argues that populism has been a shaping force in Irish literary culture. Populist moments and movements have compelled authors to reject established forms and invent new ones. Sometimes, as in the middle period of W.B. Yeatss work, populism forces a writer into impossible stances, spurring ever greater rhetorical and poetic creativity. At other times, as in the critiques of Anna Parnell or Myles na gCopaleen, authors penetrate the rhetoric fog of populistdiscourse and expose the hollowness of its claims. Yet in both politics and culture, populism can be a generative force. Daniel OConnell, and later the Land League, utilizedpopulist discourse to advance Irish political freedom and expand rights. The most powerful works of Lady Gregory and Ernie OMalley are their portraits of The People that borrows from the populist vocabulary. While we must be critical of populist discourse, we dismiss it at our loss. This study synthesizes existing scholarship on populism to explore how Irish texts have evoked "The People"--a crucial rhetorical move for populist discourse--and how some writers have critiqued, adopted, andadapted the languages of Irish populisms.
