'Marian Keyes and the Politics of Commercial Fiction is the first academic book focused on the writing of Marian Keyes. The claim that Keyes is a social activist is both compelling and convincing, and this work provides interesting social and cultural contexts for the novels, as well as suggesting the value of cognitive and affective theory in reading commercial fiction.'
- Paige Reynolds, Stephen J. Prior Professor of Humanities
'Keyes's oeuvre showcases a profoundly interesting combination of universality and local specificity. This book will be of most interest to scholars in the field of Irish literary studies but will also appeal also to scholars working on commercial fiction and women writers and readers more generally.'
