Its braided narratives explore a complicated path to becoming a mother, offering background on the science and technology of maternity, and drawing upon a range of works of art to explore the choices and uncertainties that parents are faced with today. The book centers around a personal narrative involving several complicated pregnancies and the experience of raising a child with multiple disabilities. From there, it expands outwards to address fundamental questions about the promises scientific advancements offer – the alluring potential that, if we properly regulate our bodies and our environments, we can expect to have successful pregnancies and healthy, able-bodied children—and what happens when those expectations fail us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/621125234471dd49ba84fa2f/cc31e1ab-7c30-4327-83b3-dd8486948ee8/Wireless-Past-cover.jpg Books - The Wireless Past: Anglo-Irish Writers and the BBC, 1931-1968 Winner of the Modernist Studies Association’s First Book Prize, The Wireless Past: Anglo-Irish Writers and the BBC, 1931-1968 (Oxford, 2016) chronicles the emergence of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) as a significant promotional platform and aesthetic influence for Irish modernism from the 1930s to the 1960s. This is the first book-length study of Irish literary broadcasting on the BBC and situates the works of W. B. Yeats, Elizabeth Bowen, Louis MacNeice, and Samuel Beckett in the context of the media environments that shaped their works. Drawing upon unpublished radio archives, this book shows that radio broadcasting, rather than prompting a break with literary history, served as an important means for reinterpreting the legacies of oral and print traditions. https://www.emilycbloom.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-05-28 https://www.emilycbloom.com/writing daily 0.75 2024-05-28 https://www.emilycbloom.com/teaching daily 0.75 2024-05-28
