Book Description:

Concentrating mainly on the novels from 1960 to the present day Amanda Greenwood contests critical perceptions of O'Brien as a narrow chronicler of women's inner lives, arguing that O'Brien's writings are not only radical but deeply revealing of the position of women under patriarchy in Ireland and beyond; the later texts suggest the need for revisions of the social and symbolic orders.
