B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, George Bernard Shaw, SeaÌn O'Casey, James Joyce, and Brendan Behan among them. While a number of notable scholars have contended that middle-class Irish Americans rejected or ignored this rebellious group of poets, playwrights, and novelists in favor of a conservative Catholic subculture brought over with the mass migration of the mid-nineteenth century, Stephen G. Butler demonstrates that the transatlantic relationship between these figures and a segment of Irish American journalists and citizens is more complicated--and sometimes more collaborative--than previously acknowledged. Irish Writers in the Irish American Press spans the period from Oscar Wilde's 1882 American lecture tour to the months following JFK's assassination and covers the century in which Irish American identity was shaped by immigration, religion, politics, and economic advancement. Through a close engagement with Irish American periodicals, Butler offers a more nuanced understanding of the connections between Irish literary studies and Irish American culture during this period" -- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction, An audience of some importance -- "Speranza's son," Irish America dismisses Oscar Wilde, 1882 -- The Celt in Irish America, William Butler Yeats's mission to the new island, 1887-1904 -- "No end of a row," The national theatre in the shadow of Synge, 1903-1909 -- "Weary of misrepresentation," Reconsidering the Irish American reception of the Abbey playwrights, 1911-1913 -- Meet the new gossoon, same as the old gossoon, The Abbey playwrights in Irish America, 1931-1939 -- Through a bowl of bitter tears, darkly, James Joyce and the Amerirish, 1917-1962 -- Receptions of an Irish rebel, Brendan Behan in Irish America, 1960-1964 -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a English literature $x Public opinion. $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Authors, Irish $y 19th century $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Authors, Irish $y 20th century $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z United States. 650 0 $a Irish American journalists $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Irish Americans $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Irish Americans $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a Irish Americans $x Attitudes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978934 650 7 $a Irish Americans $x Ethnic identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978937 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Butler, Stephen G., author. $t Irish writers in the Irish American press, 1882-1964 $d Amherst and Boston : University of Massachusetts Press, 2018 $z 9781613766125 $w (DLC) 2018042820 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120025536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8373E9D0462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
