  abstract  = {This paper is a literary analysis of Sebastian Barry's six novels "The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty" (1998), "Annie Dunne" (2002), "A Long Long Way" (2005), "The Secret Scripture" (2008), "On Canaan's Side" (2011) and "The Temporary Gentleman" (2014) and his two plays "The Steward of Christendom" (1995) and "Our Lady of Sligo" (1998). The analysis focuses on Barry's presentation of (Irish) history, (Irish) nationalism, and personal and national identity in order to ascertain to what extent Barry can be labelled an Irish historical revisionist and compares Barry's texts to revisionist fiction by other modern Irish authors to delineate Barry's vision of a - generally more inclusive - Irish identity.},
