In addition to its satire of various political ideologies, Manning's novel also attempts to define a latent fascist potential within the Free State by identifying the aesthetic preoccupations of anti-Communist and right-wing Catholic groups. Through its fictionalisation of organisations such as Eoin O'Duffy's Blueshirts, Mount Venus suggests a value in thinking about the importance of aesthetics to a variety of political projects vying for authority and power at a time of political consolidation for the Irish Free State. This essay argues that attending to novels like Mount Venus, which have at times been neglected due to perceived stylistic and formal inconsistencies, reveals new insights into the complex ideological landscape of Ireland in the post-independence period. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Canadian Journal of Irish Studies is the property of Canadian Association for Irish Studies and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
