Works such as Patrick MacGill''s novel \u003ci\u003eThe Amateur Army\u003c\/i\u003e (1915), John Lavery''s \u003ci\u003eDaylight Raid from my Studio\u003c\/i\u003e (1917) and Margaret Barrington''s \u003ci\u003eMy Cousin Justin\u003c\/i\u003e (1939) show how the war was fully examined by Irish authors--but was disregarded with the beginning of World War II. Diverse voices challenged prevailing notions of Irish national identity, from the bourgeois cosmopolitanism of Tom Kettle to the working-class internationalism of Patrick MacGill to Pamela Hinkson''s cynicism about imperial patriarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe use of visual material alongside the attention given to often overlooked literary texts including novels and memoirs is well-judged and a valuable addition.\"—Gerald Dawe, Trinity College Dublin; \"Hannel presents powerful arguments for seeing Irish identity in complex rather than monolithic terms.\"—Terry Phillips, Liverpool Hope University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. The Great War as Transnational Project: Tom Kettle, The Ways of War, and Irish International Nationalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2. The Double Bind: MacGill and O'Flaherty's International, Working-Class Challenge to Colonial Oppression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3. In the No Man's Land of Postcolonialism: Artistic Depictions of the Slow Extinction of the ­Anglo-Irish Protestant Ascendancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4. Keeping the Home Fires Burning When the House Is Burning Down: ­Topsy-Turvy Gender Roles and Homosocial Alliances in Irish World War I Art and Literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue.
