Description

From the picaresque hero of Richard Head's English Rogue, venturing beyond the Pale in 1665, to Charles Johnstone's satiric balloonist, rising into the sky above Calcutta in 1785; from the waves of Danish invaders who cut a swathe through Sarah Butler's Irish Tales (1716), to the rebel leader of The Irish Emigrant (1817) making a new life in America; from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver, destroyed by his forced exile from the land of the talking horses (1726), to Sydney Owenson's Horatio, unexpectedly finding love in his Irish banishment (1806)--the movements within the fictions considered in this volume are indisputably varied, both in geographic and generic terms. Whether, and to what extent, such movements surprise readers of this special issue depends considerably on how these understand Irish fiction 1660-1830 to be constituted. When Rolf Loeber and Magda Loeber published their pioneering 1672 page A Guide to Irish Fiction in 2006, they indicated that the work of such a guide, no matter how capacious, could never be said to be concluded, and they gestured towards the 'beyond': the unexplored areas and unanswered questions that remained. As their contribution to this volume shows, 'beyond' is a moving border and already they can offer 'new findings', an addendum to the Guide for the period between 1674 and 1830. Placed at the boundary of this collection, their addendum pushes out the realisation that, in a very important sense, fictions published over two hundred years ago can still be 'new', and that discoveries can be made.
