Riassunto

The Dictionary of Munster Women Writers is a biographical listing of Munster women who were writing between 1800 and 2000. It includes writers in English and Irish, and casts a wide net over many kinds of work: novels, poetry, plays, but also prayers, songs, letters, diaries, cookery books, and scientific writings of various kinds. It affords a unique insight into the cultural and social life of the province of Munster, a region with its own particular characteristics, from the prosperous market towns and prosperous rural hinterlands, to more sparsely populated uplands and coasts, where the Irish language flourished for longer. Based on extensive specialist research, the Dictionary brings to light the written work of almost 600 writers, and casts a fresh light into the lives of these women, considered as a group, in all their variety and their partly shared experiences. Farmer's daughters and nuns in convents, clergymen's wives and pioneering scientists, prolific Victorian novelists, and writers of national or international status, from Peig Sayers through Elizabeth Down via the two O'Briens (Kate and Edna), and from Molly Keane to Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill; all appear in a fresh light when placed beside their less famous sisters.
