The 1930s have never really been considered an epoch within Irish
literature, even though the Thirties form one of the most dominant
and fascinating contexts in modern British literature. This book
argues that during this time Irish poets faced up to political
pressures and aesthetic dilemmas which frequently overlapped with
those associated with "The Auden Generation." In so doing, it
offers a provocative intercession into Irish history. But more than
this, it offers powerful arguments about the way poetry in general
is interpreted and understood.
In this way, Gillis seeks to redefine our understanding of a
frequently neglected period and to challenge received notions of
both Irish literature and poetic modernism. Irish Poetry of the
1930s gives detailed and vital readings of the major Irish poets of
the decade, including original and exciting analyses of Samuel
Beckett, Patrick Kavanagh, Louis MacNeice, and W. B. Yeats.
