  Article:   WRITERSHIP IN IRELAND: „INNER EXILE” OR THE JOURNEY OF THE EXILED SELF (THE CASE OF PÁDRAIC Ó’ CONAIRE).

Authors:  SANDA BERCE. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The paper is an inquiry into Irish literary canon formation as it appears in the “writership” of Patrick O’Connor (Pádraic Ó’ Conaire) whose novel Exile, written in Gaelic in 1910 is the first modernist novel in Irish literature. It was translated in English only in 1929 and although in many ways it reminds one about James Joyce’s “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man”, it definitely did not influence Joyce. It was only the “Irish canon” that the two writers might have shared. The paper focuses on the main important aspects of this canon. Redefinition of the world and of the self in the dificult process of modernization of Ireland’s troubled history is another issue of the research.
