Irish Writing

Viac o knihe

This anthology spans 150 years of modern Irish culture, from the dawning of a powerful nationalist consciousness inspired by Wolfe Tone and Daniel O'Connell to the waning of the so-called Literary Revival and the death of W. B. Yeats. The struggle for political independence found expression in songs and stories, poems and plays, as well as in essays, speeches, and memoirs, brought together in a unique literary history.
