Inventing Ireland

Description:

INVENTING IRELAND is the most ambitious critical history of modernIrish literature to have been published for many years.

Hedevelops his story through subtle and surprising readings of LadyGregory, Synge, O'Casey, Joyce, Beckett, Flann O'Brien, ElizabethBowen, Heaney, Friel and younger writers to Roddy Doyle.
