Abstract:
This study offers a comprehensive assessment of how a broad range of Irish novelists
depicted mixed marriages or inter-faith relationships from the 1860s to the 1960s, and
argues that heterogeneous depictions of these relationships cannot be interpreted solely
as national allegories or metaphors for conciliation or lack of conciliation between the
Protestant and Catholic communities. To establish the complexity of the issue with
which the writers were engaging, the study gives extensive treatment to the theological,
historical and sociological contexts of inter-faith relationships and mixed marriages in
Ireland.
