Abstract

Abstract: This essay compares the writing of Kate O’Brien, celebrated Irish novelist who travelled to Spain and worked mainly in Britain, and of her less well-known cousin by marriage Kathleen Fitzpatrick Bernard, who travelled to France and settled in Paris. Both writers explored modernist styles, including stream of consciousness, and represented themes of exile, elsewhere, and the quest for identity, especially for young Irishwomen going abroad to escape the then narrow range of “respectable” life-choices.
