Publisher Synopsis
"This innovative and challenging collection of essays opens up fresh perspectives on the recent history, production, and reception of Galician and Irish women's writing. `Creation, Publishing, and Criticism' explores the common heritage of these Celtic cultures, but also richly documents the often radically different experiences of women writers in both countries and the varying responses they have elicited. By canvassing the viewpoints of contemporary writers, critics, publishers, and theatre directors, it assembles a lively forum of divergent attitudes to artistic practices and policies and provides an invaluable insight into the current cultural moment. The wide-ranging and combative interventions in this volume attest to the richness of the work by contemporary Galician and Irish women writers, while also underscoring the continuing difficulty of fostering feminist criticism and of finding a public outlet for women's expression, especially in the domain of theatre." (Professor Anne Fogarty, University College Dublin) "This pioneering collection of essays sets a new bar, not just for the study of women's writing in two small Atlantic cultures, but, more broadly, for our awareness of the range of strategies by which cultural agents have conditioned the production and reception of works by women. Bringing together the voices of writers, critics, publishers, theatre directors, and journalists, it is a rich, vital, and challenging intervention that opens up a new space for reflection not only on the way things are and why, but on how they might be otherwise." (Dr Kirsty Hooper, University of Liverpool) Read more...
