PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Claire Connolly is Professor of Modern English at University College Cork in Ireland. Her book A Cultural History of the Irish Novel, 1790-1829 (2011) won the Donald J. Murphy Prize, awarded by the American Conference for Irish Studies. With Marjorie Howes (Boston College), she is General Editor of Irish Literature in Transition, 1700-2020 (2020).
I would recommend for professors of British literature to assign this work in undergraduate and graduate classes without hesitation. It will not be an easy read, but each of them will come away with unique things to write about. This also means that this book is suitable for libraries of all types and sizes, so that some of the poorer students can access some free copies. * Anna Faktorovich, Pennsylvania Literary Journal *
