The essays collected in Edna OBrien: New Critical Perspectives illustrate the range, complexity and interest of OBrien as a fiction writer and dramatist. Together they contribute to a broader appreciation of her work and to an evolution of new critical approaches, as well as igniting greater interest in the many unexplored areas of her considerable oeuvre. The contributors who include new and established scholars in the field of OBrien criticism, are Rebecca Pelan, Maureen OConnor, Michelle Woods, Bertrand Cardin, Ann Norton, Eve Stoddard, Michael Harris, Loredana Salis, Shirley Peterson, Patricia Coughlan, Sinad Mooney, and Mary Burke.
