James Joyce, Urban Planning and Irish Modernism [electronic resource] : Dublins of the Future /
Lanigan, L.author.
Irish writing in the modernist era is often regarded as a largely rural affair, engaging with the city in fleeting, often disparaging ways, with Joyce cast as a defiant exception. This book shows how an urban modernist tradition, responsive to the particular political, social, and cultural conditions of Dublin, emerged in Ireland at this time.
