Christopher Cusack et al. eds., "The Corpse in Modern Irish Literature" (Liverpool UP, 2026)
Matthew Resnicek, Associate Professor of Medical Humanities who studies literature, health, and disability; and Bridget English, Senior Lecturer in English specializing in modernism and Irish studies. They trace the corpse across Irish writing from Famine and Gothic texts to modernist and contemporary works. Conversations cover the book’s surprising origin, its chronological and genre-spanning structure, and themes of haunting, burial, and bodily politics.
