Abstract

The article, "Narratives of the Unspoken in Contemporary Irish Fiction: Silences that Speak," explores the theme of silence in Irish literature. The collection of essays, edited by Maria Teresa Caneda-Cabrera and José Carregal-Romero, examines how silence is embedded in language, culture, society, and institutions. The essays cover various well-known Irish authors and analyze the role of silence in historical novels, aesthetics, gender, shame, and the cultural shift post-Celtic Tiger. The book offers a profound exploration of silence as a powerful force shaping Irish identity and narratives, inviting readers to contemplate its significance in actions, beliefs, and erasures.
