ABSTRACT:
Dr. Jockers leverages text and data mining techniques to discuss how and why the 19th-century Irish novel (in English) is distinct from the British and American novel of the same period.  In doing so he grapples with several current theories about the Irish novel and its relationship, for better or for worse, to the English realist novel of the same period.  In doing so, Jockers catalogs a number of specifically Irish habits of style and theme and discusses how an Irish voice can be detected and heard amid a cacophony of 3500 Irish, British, and American novels from the period.
