A comparative modernist study of the connections between Irish and Japanese literature, opening up uncharted avenues of cross-cultural exchange.

Trade Review
" Ancestral Recall is a comparative study of two literatures with strong oral and folkloric traditions emerging under the impact of empire and modernization. But more than just a comparison of two regional literatures at opposite ends of the world- Irish and Japanese- Hart provides an altogether persuasive argument for a critique of nation, modernization theory, and essentialist notions of ' East' and ' West.' She is a brilliant and wonderfully articulate writer, gifted of many eloquent turns of phrase." - Cody Poulton, University of Victoria Ancestral Recall is fascinating - original, perceptive, and extremely well-researched." Rob Doggett, SUNY Geneseo
