Abstract

Active and acclaimed in the latter years of the nineteenth-century, the Dublin novelist May Laffan more or less disappeared from Irish Studies throughout the twentieth-century. Biography and extensive republication have recently brought her back to attention. This paper explores her attention to marginal, neglected and near-anonymous figures in her fiction, and links this concern to her only distinctive insistence on anonymous publication.
