      abstract = {This book explores how three Anglo-Irish writers, J.C.  Mangan, J.S. Le Fanu and Bram Stoker, use settings in their  short fictions to recreate, depict and confront Ireland's  colonial situation in the nineteenth century. This study  provides an innovative approach by targeting a genre (the  short story) which has not been explored in its entirety --  certainly not within nineteenth century Ireland - much less  using a postcolonial approach to the short story. Added to  this is the fact that it analyses how these writers used  settings as an anticolonial tool. To do so, the book is  divided into two major sections, an analysis of Irish  settings and non-Irish ones. It works on the premise that  all three writers used the idea of displacement to target  colonialism and its effects on Irish society. In short,  this book addresses a gap in scholarship, as the Irish  Gothic short story as a decolonizing tool has not been  sufficiently and globally studied. Richard Jorge completed  his PhD at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain,  where he researched the relationship between the short  story and the Irish Gothic tradition in the writings of  James Clarence Mangan, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram  Stoker. He has worked at various universities and has also  taught literature at an IB International school. Currently,  Richard is teaching at the Department of English, German  and Translation and Interpretation Studies in the  University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Spain, while  continuing with his research on the Irish short story in  the nineteenth century.

Le Fanu's "The Familiar" (Nineteenth Century  Contexts, 2021), Untranslatable Characters: James Clarence  Mangan and the English Language (English Studies, 2021),  Debunking Protestant Celticism: Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's  Language Appropriation in "The Quare Gander" and An Account  of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street (Journal of  Language, Literature and Culture, 2020).},
