Description

Kiberd - one of Ireland's leading critics and a central figure in the FIELD DAY group with Brian Friel, Seamus Deane and the actor Stephen Rea - argues that the Irish Literary Revival of the 1890-1922 period embodied a spirit and a revolutionary, generous vision of Irishness that is still relevant to post-colonial Ireland. This is the perspective from which he views Irish culture. His history of Irish writing covers Yeats, Lady Gregory, Synge, O'Casey, Joyce, Beckett, Flann O'Brien, Elizabeth Bowen, Heaney, Friel and younger writers down to Roddy Doyle.

Media Reviews

A masterpiece...Kiberd is surely the finest critic of Irish literature. -- Owen Dudley Edwards * Scotsman *
A critical study laced with wit, energy and unrelenting adroitness of discourse...A remarkable achievement. -- Thomas Flanagan * New York Times *
Provocative, contentious, sly, tendentious, challenging, witty...A resounding success. -- Gerry Dukes * Irish Independent *
Blessedly jargon-free, easy to read and - like all of Kilberd's work - full of bravura cleverness. -- Roy Foster * The Times *
