description: Smith (literary studies, Nottingham Trent U.) has largely rewritten his 25 years of work on Irish literature of the 20th century, and added some new material, in order to clarify his argument concerning the role of Irish Modernism writing in constructing the model of a specifically Irish modernity. Among the writers he discusses are W. B. Yeats, Denis Devlin, Louis MacNeice, John Montague, Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Paul Muldoon, and Ciaran Carson. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
