Description: The first book-length chronology of its kind, Modern Irish Literature and Culture: A Chronology identifies, explains, and interrelates events in Irish literature and culture since 1600. Arranged by topical categories, the work connects developments in drama, fiction, poetry, and prose nonfiction to related historical and political events and parallel advances in architecture, art, film, and music. More than a mere listing of facts, this very readable narrative offers original insights based on the best interdisciplinary scholarship. Complete with informative introduction, detailed map of the country, biographical sketches of recurrent figures, bibliography, and comprehensive index, Modern Irish Literature and Culture: A Chronology is destined to become an essential resource for beginning students and established scholars alike.
