Inventing Ireland
About this book
INVENTING IRELAND is the most ambitious critical history of modernIrish literature to have been published for many years. DeclanKiberd argues that the Irish literary revival of the 1890-1922period embodied a spirit and a revolutionary, generous vision ofIrishness that is still relevant to post-colonial Ireland. Hedevelops his story through subtle and surprising readings of LadyGregory, Synge, O'Casey, Joyce, Beckett, Flann O'Brien, ElizabethBowen, Heaney, Friel and younger writers to Roddy Doyle.
