Book Launch: James Joyce’s Legacies in Contemporary Irish Women’s Writing
- Free to visit
Thursday, 11 September 2025
About this event
Celebrate the launch of "James Joyce’s Legacies in Contemporary Irish Women’s Writing," a new monograph by Dr. Annalisa Mastronardi.
The book explores how Joyce’s influence reverberates through the work of Irish women writers, from Norah Hoult and Kate O'Brien to contemporary authors such as Anne Enright, Eimear McBride and Emilie Pine. Through close readings, feminist theory and cultural critique, Mastronardi examines themes of gender, memory, sexuality and narrative innovation, revealing how Joyce’s legacy is both critically challenged and creatively extended in Irish women’s fiction.
The evening will feature a talk by the author, an introduction by Professor Emeritus Anne Fogarty (UCD), and a Q&A session.
Free event, booking advised.
