From the theoretical framework of women's studies the concept of New Woman is analysed in relation to that of New Journalism, which arose at the same time. Additionally, the aetiology and features of the two publications, plus the criteria for corpus selection, are described, and the corpus texts are compared to similar English publications of the period. The complex political situation in Ireland at the turn of the century is also considered. The role of women and the various perceptions of them are analysed, both in the sections of letters to the Editor and in essays. The roles of women in The Irish Times and The Weekly Irish Times are also compared to those depicted in journals and newspapers addressed to a female readership. The study concludes with excerpts of the two publications in question and the analysis of the contradictory opinions on the lives and roles of women in the nineteenth-century fin de siècle.

It enables us to publish a wide variety of material on many aspects of hispanism: opinion, discussion, interviews, revaluations, arguments, anecdotes and memoirs, and impassioned calls to arms. It also offers us the opportunity of publishing our readers' responses to them. Contributions are invited, and may be of any length from a paragraph to 7,000 words.

Therefore, Mª Jesús Lorenzo Modia will describe the antecedents of the short story in the eighteenth century through the emergence of periodical publications such as The Tatler and The Spectator. Stories by male and female writers included in these and other publications will be analysed by Lorenzo Modia in order to provide a panorama of the eighteenth-century short story. Margarita Estévez Saá will review the proliferation of short stories written by women in the nineteenth century and study the peculiar case of the ghost story, a favourite "subgenre" for women readers and writers. María Losada Friend will exemplify with the figure of Edna O'Brien and her work Lantern Slides, the contribution of women writers to the so-called "composite novel" commenting on its function as a unifying structure of short stories and studying some of its antecedents and possible sequels in English and Irish literature. Finally, José Manuel Estévez Saá will discuss the panorama of multiethnic postcolonial short stories written by 1 The authors from the Universidade de Santiago and Universidade da Coruña gratefully acknowledge funding from the research project "Rede de lingua e literatura inglesa e identidade" (2007/000145-0), financed by the Galician Government and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk provided by Repositorio da Universidade da Coruña PROCEEDINGS 31 ST AEDEAN CONFERENCE 776 women in the twentieth century and the interest of the thematic and aesthetic concerns displayed by their authors.

Arguably, the poet is part of the Northern Irish elegiac trend in dealing with issues of her country, but she departs from a male-dominated tradition and connects lament with ethical, political, national, ecological and women’s issues. This poem is related to those in her recent book Marine Cloud Brightening (2019), in which she included mournful poems for both her brother and other Irish poets who passed away in recent times, with special attention to Seamus Heaney. McGuckian’s vision of the situation of the earth and of those living in it is gloomy, and she connects it with hardship, should rulers’ policies remain unchanged.

Moving beyond their characteristic didactic and moral functions, these narratives began to be seen as safe places in which one could escape from reality and seek refuge in a world of adventure. Illustrations had a significant role in the new development of these genres, stimulating the imagination and helping to create fantastical realms for readers. Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) had already served that purpose in the Victorian era, and editions and versions of the work for a new 1920s generation would present re-interpreted illustrations, ones which were rendered more appropriate for the new context and which reflected some avant-garde tendencies, whilst not overlooking the essence of the original.

A situacion xeopolitica actual, dominada polas tensions entre a globalizacion e as sensibilidades locais, invita a repensar as relacions dos individuos e das comunidades coa cultura e coas letras e, por este motivo, e importante xerar conecemento que se adecue as necesidades do alumnado que estara exposto a este panorama social. Neste sentido, dende os Estudos Ingleses da Facultade de Filoloxia e os Estudos Irlandeses do Instituto Universitario de Estudos Irlandeses, estanse a facer esforzos por achegar ao noso alumando e a comunidade local e global o conecemento cultural e academico que manexamos nas nosas actividades universitarias, e estanse a desenvolver iniciativas para dinamizar estes clusters informativos. Unha destas propostas educativas consiste no desenvolvemento dunha rede informativa sobre os recursos de investigacio...
