Addressed to both literary scholars and the general reader, Understanding Anne Enright is an introduction to the novels and stories of one of the most original and engaging contemporary Irish writers. It analyses developments in Enright's writing, comparing the evolution of themes and forms from one book to another, contextualising her fiction, and interrogating the impact of concepts such as postmodernism, post-feminism and post-nationalism on the writing and reading of her work. It particularly follows the evolution of Enright's treatment of the corporeality of women's experiences and its correlation with the embodied language of her fiction. Thus, this book shows how Enright's writing participates in the latest thematic and formal trends not only of Irish or British, but also of Western, literature.
