Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts, Miami University, History.
Despite its natural place within the discipline, postmodernism has prompted many historians to avoid narrative histories. Irish historians in particular have turned from the story due to its links to nationalism and loose commitment to factual sources. The narrative is now perceived as inherently non-historical. This criticism is unfounded, for it is entirely possible to produce a factually-based narrative history free of political undertones. The narrative has a long history of its own right in Irish culture and can easily be stripped of the nationalist metanarrative. By utilizing the story as a historical genre, Irish historians can fully maintain their commitment to describing the past truthfully and critically. The short history Roisin provides an example of this, serving as an image of Dublin in 1918 and as an examination into the subtle variations of national identity put forth by James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Daniel Corkery, Sean O’Casey, and J.M. Synge.
