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 is the
first to explore 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 new
contribution to early modern British studies.
