• ... that a reviewer wrote of Julian Moynahan that he was "disguised as an English professor at Rutgers", but really "a nonstop Irish-American storyteller"?

Overall: DYK requires every section to be referenced, so the sections Literary criticism and Novels need references. SL93 (talk) 15:39, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you for the review, SL93, but those are just lists of books, so your point seems mistaken. As Vanamonde93 said when someone tried to run this argument once before, “The fundamental rule for DYK is that it needs to be policy-compliant; in this case, compliant with WP:V. Books are acceptable sources for the content within them, and are therefore acceptable sources for their existence, when they have complete publication information. Secondary sources would be ideal for determining whether the works should be listed at all; but that's more of a due weight determination that is outside the scope of a DYK review.” So each title, with publisher and date, cites itself.

  Since I was pinged: I suggest providing ISBNs or OCLCs to make the publication information unambiguous; just titles are not always easy to find. Vanamonde (Talk) 22:54, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, Vanamonde, I’ll do that, so long as they all exist. Moonraker (talk) 23:20, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

I see that was done so I'm approving this. SL93 (talk) 21:12, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Anglo-Irish: The Literary Imagination in a Hyphenated Culture

The publisher’s information for the book is worth copying here. Moonraker (talk) 03:06, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

In their day, the Anglo-Irish were the ascendant minority – Protestant, loyalist, privileged landholders in a recumbent, rural, and Catholic land. Their world is vanished, but shades of the Anglo-Irish linger in the big-house estates of Ireland and in the imaginative writings of this realm. In this first comprehensive study of their literature, Julian Moynahan rediscovers the unity of their greatest writings, from Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent through Yeats's poetry to Bowen's The Last September and Samuel Beckett's Watt. Throughout he challenges postcolonial assumptions, arguing that the Anglo-Irish since 1800 were indelibly Irish, not mere colonial servants of Imperial Britain. Moynahan begins in 1800 with the Act of Union, when the Anglo-Irish become Irish. Just as the fortunes of this community begin to wane, its literary power unfolds. The Anglo-Irish produce a haunting, memorable body of writings that explore a unique yet always Irish identity and destiny. Moynahan's exploration of the literature reveals women writers – Maria Edgeworth, Edith Somerville, Martin Ross, and Elizabeth Bowen – as a generative and major force in the development of this literary imagination. Along the way, he attends closely to the Gothic and to the mystery writing of C. R. Maturin and J. S. Le Fanu, and provides in-depth revaluations of William Carleton and Charles Lever.
