Description: In Ireland, the decade between 1938 and 1948 has been characterized as a time of stagnation and isolation. During these years, however, many Irish writers and artists travelled extensively across the Continent, while a number of their English counterparts arrived in Ireland. Taking these journeys as a starting point, the essays in this collection explore afresh the cultural history of this decade and the continuing impact of the events around and during the Second World War on Irish literature and culture. -- Publisher description
