The European Metropolis is the first book to explore Irish women’s novels and the representation of Paris, which draws these writers into a recognizably European literary tradition. By reasserting the centrality of Paris, this book draws connections between Irish women writers and European writers, forging new points of contact between Irish literature and canonical figures like Goethe, Balzac, and Zola through the shared interest in the socio-economic development of modernity. The European Metropolis not only expands the critical framework in which scholars situate these novels but also expands the map of Irish Studies.

['This book] lies ambitiously in the intersection of at least three disciplines: gender, urban, and Irish studies. [...] The European Metropolis poses a theoretically informed reassessment of Irish female voices from the long nineteenth century, which succeeds to unite a Marxist and a feminist vista without succumbing to ideological tensions or inconsistencies. The geographical angle renders the expelling forces more visible, bringing to the fore the subtle mechanisms responsible for gender inequality. Lastly, one of the greatest values of this monograph lies in that it connects Irish literary tradition with other non-French national literatures that owe its inspiration to the centrality of Paris. In this way, Reznicek’s monograph offers a highly relevant methodological approach.' Višnja Krstić, Irish Studies Review
