POST-AGREEMENT NORTHERN IRISH LITERATURE Lost in a Liminal Space? Birte Heidemann
New Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature
Series editor Claire Culleton Kent State University Kent, OH, USA
Aim of the Series: New Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature promotes fresh scholarship that explores models of Irish and Irish American identity and examines issues that address and shape the contours of Irishness and works that investigate the fluid, shifting, and sometimes multivalent discipline of Irish Studies. Politics, the academy, gender, and Irish and Irish American culture, among other things, have not only inspired but affected recent scholarship centred on Irish and Irish American literature. The series’ focus on Irish and Irish American literature and culture contributes to our twenty-first century understanding of Ireland, America, Irish Americans, and the creative, intellectual, and theoretical spaces between.
