| Description: |
A full understanding of Irish Literature and the consciousness of Irish writers requires seeing them in the context of the issues that dominated the period in which they wrote. The questions of nationality, race and religion, the nature of Irish identity and efforts to develop a cultural consciousness, are examined here. |
| Synopsis: |
This book surveys Irish writing in English over the last two centuries, from Maria Edgeworth to Seamus Heaney, to give the literary student and the general reader an up-to-date sense of its variety and vitality and to indicate some of the ways in which it has been described and discussed. It begins with a brief outline of Irish history, of Irish writing in Irish and Latin, and of writing in English before 1800. Later chapters consider Irish romanticism, Victorian Ireland, W.B.Yeats and the Irish Literary Revival, new directions in Irish writing after Joyce and the literature of contemporary Ireland, north and south, from 1960 to the present. |
