    This document provides summaries of works by three Irish authors: - Elizabeth Bowen's "The Last September" depicts the decadence of the late 19th century Anglo-Irish ascendancy and their houses in Cork, Dublin, rural and urban settings. It focuses on realism over sentimentality. - Edna O'Brien's works question stereotypes in Catholic nationalist Irish society through a small town girl's sexual awakening and loss of innocence in cities. - Sister Imelda critiques the institutionalization of Irish national identity after 1922 and the idealization of Ireland, portraying traditional femininity, men as violent and alcoholic, and women's bodies as vehicles for the land's survival.
