"In this analysis of modern Irish writing, an acknowledged expert considers the hybrid character of Irish literature to show how language, culture and history have been affected by the colonial encounter between Ireland and Britain. Examining the great themes of loss and struggle, Pierce traces the impact on Irish writing of the Great Famine and cultural nationalism, and considers the way the work of Ireland's two leading writers, W.B. Yeats and James Joyce, complicates and elucidates our view of 'the harp and the crown'."--Jacket. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The book draws a contrast between the West of Ireland in the 1930s, when the new Irish State enjoyed its first full independent decade, and the North of Ireland in the 1980s, when the spectre of British imperialism threatened the stability of Ireland. Pierce then surveys contemporary Irish writing and reflects on the legacy of the colonial encounter and on the passage to a postmodern or postnationalist Ireland in the work of such crucial living writers as John Banville, Derek Mahon, and John McGahern.
