The protean nature of Irish tale: the generic analysis of Maria Edgeworth's Ennui.(LITERATURE)(Critical essay)

Studia Anglica Posnaniensia: international review of English Studies | January 1, 2007| | Copyright

ABSTRACT

The aim of the article is to demonstrate the derivative nature of Irish tale, a short-lived genre which thrived in the Romantic period. The analysis is based on Maria Edgeworth Ennui (1809), which skillfully and self-consciously combines various kinds of factual discourse (e.g. memoirs, autobiographies, travelogues) with diverse fictional modes (romance, melodrama) with a view to expose the shallowness of English stereotypes about Ireland as well as to call for the modernization of Ireland through the professionalisation of its gentry.
