Ce livre démontre comment certaines composantes de la communauté unioniste nord-irlandaise - notamment le Parti Unioniste et l’Ordre d’Orange - ont récemment lancé une véritable campagne culturelle destinée à repenser l’image identitaire du « peuple britannique d’Ulster » et à briser le carcan des mythes fondateurs de la communauté : le siège de Londonderry et la bataille de la Boyne. Cette nouvelle image identitaire se crée à partir de plusieurs récits qui permettent à la communauté de s’imaginer sur une échelle plus vaste en repoussant ses coordonnées spatiales et chronologiques. Ces récits évoquent l’héritage millénaire des Cruthin, habitants aborigènes de l’Ulster préhistorique, l’émigration presbytérienne vers l’Amérique, ainsi que les échanges linguistiques et culturels entre le Nord de l’Irlande et l’Écosse. Cette réécriture de l’histoire identitaire débouche sur un « désenclavement » de l’espace imaginaire de la communauté unioniste ; elle ouvre la voie vers une remise en question globale des versions nationalistes de l’histoire irlandaise.

Medb of Connacht, a central female character of medieval Ireland's Ulster Cycle is read traditionally as an example of a misogynistic, patriarchal Christian campaign to suppress and silence women in early Ireland, or as symbolic of a primordial, mythic pre-Christian goddess, exempt from patriarchal censure because her behavior is ascribed to her duties as a divine sovereignty figure. In addition, this work provides the first comparative and comprehensive character analysis of the Connacht warrior queen across numerous tales in which she appears as a major player, presenting a more complete pic

"A Woman's Words is the first in-depth analysis of Middle Irish literature from a feminist standpoint, and the first formal critical discussion of the representation of female speech in medieval Irish literature. Joanne Findon analyses the representation of Emer, the wife of the great Irish hero Cu Chulainn, in four linked medieval Irish tales, and discusses Emer's ability to use powerful, effective words to change her fictional world and the audience's reading of that fictional world." "A Woman's Words considers Emer as a literary figure rather than a mythic archetype or a reflection of a pre-Christian Celtic goddess. Emer and the narratives she inhabits are discussed as literary constructs, and are considered within the historical and legal milieu in which these tales were told, recorded, and read."--Jacket.
