While recent studies of Edmund Spenser and Jonathan Swift have
firmly relocated both writers in their Irish as well as their
English context, English writing in Ireland between these
monolithic figures has been largely neglected. This study explores
in detail the literary territory between Spenser and Swift.
Examining a range of texts, from fragments to sophisticated
publications such as economic improvement manuals, histories,
plays, romances and poems, Deana Rankin demonstrates how writers in
Ireland articulated the transition from soldier to settler across
this century of war and political turmoil. She illuminates both
centre and periphery by revealing for the first time the richness
of English writing in Ireland during the period and its sustained
engagement with canonical English literature, including
Shakespeare, Sidney and Milton. Historians and literary scholars
will find much to discover in this significant contribution to
early modern British studies.
