The struggle of that class toward definition and the striving to articulate its character is central to the novel and the stories it tells. Its novelty is found in a formlessness that nonetheless aspires to some idea of order and unity. Indeed, the energies of the early modern novel form can be discerned in its constant assertion of narratives that enact that search for completeness while also allowing for a kind of mourning for the security that older, traditional forms and stories allowed. Thus, novelists, then as now, revel in the possibilities that formal innovation permits while their characters find themselves forced to acknowledge the newness of their world and their experiences in that world"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000438235 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438235 650_0 $$aEnglish fiction$$xIrish authors$$xHistory and criticism. 000438235 650_0 $$aLiterature and society$$zIreland$$xHistory. 000438235 650_0 $$aLiterature and history$$zIreland$$xHistory. 000438235 650_0 $$aNational characteristics, Irish, in literature. 000438235 651_0 $$aIreland$$xIn literature. 000438235 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000438235 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHand, Derek.$$tHistory of the Irish novel.$$dCambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9780521855402$$w(DLC) 2010032792$$w(OCoLC)660087671 000438235 8520_ $$bacq 000438235 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438235 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=674654$$zOnline Access 000438235 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438235$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438235 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438235 980__ $$aBIB 000438235 982__ $$aEbook 000438235 983__ $$aOnline
