The Wild Irish Girl by Sydney Owenson

What do we know and what do we think we know about Ireland and Irish history and culture? Syndey Owenson must have asked herself this question whilst writing The Wild Irish Girl, which came to define Irish national identity in 1806. We discuss this novel in relation to history, politics, religion, and more, forcing us to ask: do we know as much about Ireland as we should? Technical issues: apologies about Michelle's audio!
