Mary Lavin Livres
10 juin 1912 – 25 mars 1996
Mary Lavin fut une écrivaine irlandaise célébrée, auteure de nouvelles et de romans, qui s'est taillé une place importante dans le paysage littéraire traditionnellement dominé par les hommes en Irlande. Son œuvre a fréquemment exploré des thèmes féministes et des critiques sociales, particulièrement dans le contexte de la forte influence de l'Église catholique romaine sur la société irlandaise. Lavin était reconnue pour sa profonde perspicacité psychologique et sociale, soulignant souvent la position des femmes dans un monde patriarcal. Sa prose distinctive se caractérise par sa précision et sa capacité à transmettre de profonds courants émotionnels et des conflits intérieurs chez ses personnages.
