After Ireland : writing the nation from Beckett to the present

by Declan Kiberd

This critical survey of modern Irish literature analyses how post-war writers have responded to the nation's crises of statehood and authority. Examining thirty key works, it explores how literature continues to help imagine a renewed and more open society.
