Abstract
This thesis will analyse two texts concerning the Northern Irish Troubles, Hidden Symptoms by Deirdre Madden and “Naming the Names” by Anne Devlin, that have a similar context and background, and use similar themes throughout the story. Generally, conflicts are often represented as two contesting memory cultures. This research will demonstrate a greater complexity: a variety of perspectives within one of the sides of conflict, specifically the Northern Irish Troubles, and show how gender, trauma, memory, and narrative strategies operate in literary legacies.
