This chapter draws on my experience of writing and publishing my 2014 novel, The Diary of Mary Travers, and on the research for my edited collection The Selected Writings of Speranza and William Wilde (2020) in order to consider the afterlives of Jane Wilde and the silencing and distorting of her scholarly and intellectual career. In particular, the essay looks at her reputation during her lifetime, her scholarship and her public role within Irish cultural nationalism and denounces that her own voice was silenced by a homophobic discourse around her influence on her son. The chapter argues that contemporary Irish cultural discourse has remade her reputation and connects this moment with a tendency in contemporary Irish fiction which focuses on the re-examining of lost and hidden lives.
