Norah Hoult's 'Poor Women!': A Critical Edition - Paperback

by Kathleen P. Costello-Sullivan (Editor)

"Norah Hoult's 'Poor Women!'' A Critical Edition" reintroduces a significant yet critically-neglected 20th-century Irish author. Hoult's stories capture the restrictions imposed on women by society and its institutions. Often compared to writers such as Sean O'Faolain, Frank O'Connor, Kate O'Brien and Edna O'Brien, her work also shares characteristics with James Joyce and Mary Lavin.
