Description for Israelites in Erin: Exodus, Revolution, and the Irish Revival (Irish Studies)
Hardcover. Drawing on both canonical and little-known texts of the Literary Revival, Bender highlights the centrality of Exodus in Ireland. In doing so, she recuperates the history of a liberation narrative that was occluded by the aesthetic of 1916, when the Christ story replaced Exodus as a model for revolution and liberation. Series: Irish Studies. Num Pages: 288 pages, 1 black and white illustration. BIC Classification: 1DBR; 2AB; DSBH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 22. Weight in Grams: 540.

Drawing upon both canonical and little-known texts of the Literary Revival, including works by Joyce, plays by Lady Gregory, and political writings by Charles Stewart Parnell and Patrick Pearse, ... Read more
