Description: "This is the first comprehensive guide to almost three hundred years of Irish literary magazines, an important, but neglected, resource for those interested in Irish literature and literary, social, cultural and economic history. The book begins by outlining the history of these magazines, their development, personalities and major themes and formats. A refreshingly opinionated descriptive bibliography then assesses the contents and importance of well over two hundred magazines. No serious study of any Irish writer is complete without an examination of this vital context to their life and work."--Jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
