It situates modern Irish writing within the contexts of cultural transition and transnational connection, often challenging pre-existing perceptions of Irish literature in this period as stagnant and mundane. While taking into account the grip of Irish censorship and cultural nationalism during the mid-twentieth century, these essays identify an Irish literary culture stimulated by international political horizons and fully responsive to changes in publishing, readership, and education. The book combines valuable cultural surveys with focussed discussions of key literary moments, and of individual authors such as Se疣 O'Faol疂n, Samuel Beckett, Edna O'Brien, and John McGahern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eve Patten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108480446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108480444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Eve Patten","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941425676543,"sku":"9781108480444","price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a1b38285-0d75-4d8e-b5f2-16f98cf7fa26.jpg?v=1681452858","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/irish-literature-in-transition-1940-1980-eve-patten-9781108480444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
