- Abstract
For a long time, domestic academia has not paid enough attention to James Stephens’s The Charwoman’s Daughter. It is because of the dislocation of signifying practice that researchers misplace the understanding of the novel in the realistic literary framework. By restoring the context of Irish national literary revival, this paper reinterprets the literary value and social cultural significance of The Charwoman’s Daughter, which is intimately connected with Irish imaginary national community. And on this basis, by using cultural sociological methods, this paper meanwhile analyses the dislocation of signifying practice of The Charwoman’s Daughter. What the paper aims at is to explore the impact of this dislocation on educated youth during the New Culture Movement
