Working-Class Women in Irish Literature and Theatre
Working-Class Women in Irish Literature and Theatre critically engages with works of theatre both by and about working-class women, historically and presently. Addressing professional and community theatre productions, from both textual and performative perspectives, this volume focuses on works of theatre by practitioners, directors, playwrights, and performance artists across rural and urban contexts. Irish theatre has a long history of signifying social class. Yet the representations of working-class women in Irish theatrical history also encompass several problematic issues, starting with the fact that these depictions were created by male writers like J. M Synge and Se獺n O'Casey to name but a few. Nonetheless, the theatre's emphasis on embodied performance and its ability to reach its public in an unmediated way has attracted working-class engagement perhaps more than other art forms in Ireland. Contemporary playwrights in the Republic and the north of Ireland have tirelessly striven to illuminate working-class women's lived experiences and have reframed the characterisation of working-class women by drawing out the intersection of social class with sexualities, ethnic minorities, and racial identities. This edited collection also includes the voices of directors, playwrights, and performers who identify with a working-class social background, offering first-hand accounts of their lived experience in the theatre industry.

The Edmund Fitzgerald
On Monday evening, November 10th, 1975, the famous iron ore freighter, Edmund Fitzgerald was desperately fighting her way through a raging tempest on the treacherous Great Lake Superior. Suddenly, shortly after 7:15, the 729 foot long ship nose-dived to the bottom of Superior without warning. The end was so abrupt and catastrophic, that not a single distress signal was sent. There was no Mayday; no cry for help. There were also no survivors. There were no witnesses to give testimony as to exactly what had happened. The tragic loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald and her 29 man crew was one of the worst maritime disasters in United States' maritime history. Nearly one half century has passed since that horrible event. There have been countless theories put forth to try and explain what caused the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Some of these were credible; others absurd. As a result, a great mystery soon surrounded the tragedy. Emotional elements unintentionally added to the mystery; further preventing the truth from being uncovered. This is not the case anymore. In the book, The Edmund Fitzgerald: From Glory To Gut Wrenching Tragedy, brilliant author Timothy J. Thompson has succeeded in piercing through this veil, and has explained in specific detail exactly what caused the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Drawing upon numerous primary and secondary sources, Mr. Thompson retells the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald in a truly dynamic way. Leaving no stone unturned, he answers the nagging questions that other authors were unable to answer, and draws proper conclusions based upon painstaking research and analysis. Once you, the reader, have finished reading this outstanding book, you will know exactly what caused the Edmund Fitzgerald to founder, and realize that is was not a great mystery as so many others have erroneously concluded, but rather, a tragedy just waiting to happen.
