This year the Irish State marks 100 years of independence. Independence was hard won a struggle over many many years culminated in a War of Independence fought against the British Empire followed by a Civil War when the Treaty negotiated to end the War of Independence split the country in two. As a consequence the early years of the Irish State were marked by poverty and deprivation. As the State struggled to establish itself among the values it prized most were conformity and submission. For people who did not conform it meant exclusion and deprivation. Many writers who tried to explore this reality found their work banned and their livelihoods taken away. They endured frustrated. Still others emigrated some forging successful careers abroad. The social consequences of what happened during that time and the legacy of hurt remain to this day. Industrial schools where children suffered appallingly the reign of terror perpetrated on unmarried mothers the over weaning power of the church in social affairs these all had consequences that Irish society is still coming to terms with today. With this perspective in mind Nicoleta Stanca s latest work Defiance of Magdalenes. Female Challenges in Recent Irish Fiction explores the female characters in a range of novels by more contemporary Irish writers. Of course the Ireland of today is very different from the State in its infancy. We like to think of ourselves as modern liberal outward looking welcoming difference. We value our writers and artists because of the insights they bring to our lives not just to reflect society. The novels that are considered here by William Trevor John Banville Anne Enright Sebastian Barry and Colm Toibin while coming from a particularly Irish place have universal appeal and contribute hugely to our understanding of ourselves.As a reflection of the high esteem that Irish writers are held in today the Arts Council created the role of Laureate for Irish Fiction. This was to acknowledge the contribution of fiction writers to Irish artistic and cultural life by honouring an established Irish writer of fiction encouraging a new generation of writers promoting Irish literature nationally and internationally and encouraging the public to engage with high quality Irish fiction. Each Laureate continues their work as a creative artist. In addition over the course of their term they spend a semester at University College Dublin and one at New York University and while in residence they teach creative writing. They also deliver an annual lecture and engage in major public events. The Laureateship is designed so that the Laureate can shape the role allowing the inidual artist to be at the heart of the project. Anne Enright Sebastian Barry and Colm Toibin are recent Laureates and each has occupied the role with distinction and each has made their own unique contribution. Ireland has of course always showcased itself through its writers and literature. In our work at the Irish Embassy in Romania we have emphasised the broader contribution of Irish writers to world literature. For example this year we marked 125 years since the publication of the novel Dracula written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker with an exhibition titled Bloodlines Dublin to Transylvania the Making of Bram Stoker s Dracula. The Embassy also marked 100 years since the publication of James Joyce s great modernist work Ulysses by assisting in the organisation of the Conference Ulysses and Joyce with Bucharest University. In all of this work we are extremely grateful for the help of people who know and love Irish writers and Irish literature. Nicoleta Stanca s enthusiasm for and knowledge of Ireland and Irish literature has been a wonderful resource that I and I know my predecessors have drawn on and valued greatly. Her latest work is a fine contribution to our understanding of contemporary Irish writing and the sources from which it draws inspiration. Paul McGarryAmbassador of Ireland to Romania
