Beyond big house and cabin:Dwelling politically in modern Irish literature.[electronic resource] - 245 p.

Adviser: Maria A. DiBattista.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2004.

A chapter on W. B. Yeats shows that the laureate credentialed himself against charges of harboring mandarin Big House pretension by privileging in his autobiography, Reveries (1916), a long-established familial homestead at once middle-class, Irish, and Anglican. That chapter also reveals ingrained, implicit arguments in Yeats's autobiographical and poetic writings for hibernicizing the garden city and "house beautiful" precepts retailed to the British bourgeoisie by William Morris. The work concludes by disclosing how the memory and effects of radical domestic change in modern Ireland have caused the living writer Eavan Boland to construct a political poetics of the middle-class Irish suburb.

520 # $a A chapter on W. B. Yeats shows that the laureate credentialed himself against charges of harboring mandarin Big House pretension by privileging in his autobiography, Reveries (1916), a long-established familial homestead at once middle-class, Irish, and Anglican. That chapter also reveals ingrained, implicit arguments in Yeats's autobiographical and poetic writings for hibernicizing the garden city and "house beautiful" precepts retailed to the British bourgeoisie by William Morris. The work concludes by disclosing how the memory and effects of radical domestic change in modern Ireland have caused the living writer Eavan Boland to construct a political poetics of the middle-class Irish suburb.
520 # $a Combining literary history and cultural anthropology, Beyond Big House and Cabin argues that, throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, many Irish writers were profoundly invested in the middle-class homestead. Canonical and belletristic literary texts of the period reflect, explicate, and encourage the politically and socially momentous rise of that physical and cultural artifact, which deconstructed the historical binary of Big House and cabin, the diagnostic dwellings of Irish landlordism and the major focus of literary-critical energies to date.
520 # $a In particular, I highlight Bloomfields debts to popular architectural pattern books that express education and domestic salubriousness as fundamental to national identity politics; and I demonstrate that Bloomfield forwards vis-a-vis the better homestead a contemporary Irish appropriation of Ruskin's ideological revival of Lombardesque Gothic architecture. Via unprecedented close readings, the dissertation posits Knocknagow primarily as a sophisticated negotiation between the domestic advance of the rural bourgeoisie and the patent evanescence of Irish peasant domesticity.
520 # $a Invoking a variety of social documents in support, the dissertation deploys literature to locate the middle-class homestead centrally within the modern land campaign, which revolutionized proprietorship in Ireland by 1903. Although it maintains that the literary genealogy of bourgeois domesticity is traceable to Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent (1800), the study especially considers the heady period of post-Famine embourgeoisement, recuperating for serious scholarly consideration William Allingham's self-described "modern poem," Laurence Bloomfield in Ireland (1864) and Charles Kickham's Knocknagow; or, The Homes of Tipperary (1873), the best-selling novel in Ireland from its republication in 1879 until after the Cultural Revival.
