The study is a comparison between Maeve Brennan's "The Bride" amd James Joyce's "Eveline." Brennan, a self-exiled writer like Joyce, was widely read in the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s, but practically unknown in her own country, where none of her books were published even though many of her stories are set in Dublin. Her stories depict the claustrophobic and restrictive world which many women inhabited. "The Bride" could be seen as a re-vision of "Eveline." Unlike Joyce's somewhat misogynist take, Brennan's gendered lens well encapsulates the material and emotional condition of the early twentieth-century Irish domestic maid.

Abstract
The study is a comparison between Maeve Brennan's "The Bride" amd James Joyce's "Eveline." Brennan, a self-exiled writer like Joyce, was widely read in the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s, but practically unknown in her own country, where none of her books were published even though many of her stories are set in Dublin. Her stories depict the claustrophobic and restrictive world which many women inhabited. "The Bride" could be seen as a re-vision of "Eveline." Unlike Joyce's somewhat misogynist take, Brennan's gendered lens well encapsulates the material and emotional condition of the early twentieth-century Irish domestic maid.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
