Book Synopsis
Taking seriously Ireland's euphemism for World War II, the Emergency, Anna Teekell's Emergency Writing asks both what happens to literature written during a state of emergency and what it means for writing to be a response to an emergency.

Trade Review
An engaged reading of the politics of language use in Ireland during World War II, Emergency Writing demonstrates how the war years mark a particular moment of emergence in post-independence Irish writing, as the legacy of literary modernism comes to empower diverse stylistic challenges to official narratives of Irish identity."" - Damien Keane, author of Ireland and the Problem of Information
