Denis Donoghue has been a key figure in Irish studies and an
important public intellectual in Ireland, the UK and US throughout
his career. These essays represent the best of his writing and
operate in conversation with one another. He probes the questions
of Irish national and cultural identity that underlie the finest
achievements of Irish writing in all genres. Together, the essays
form an unusually lively and far-reaching study of three crucial
Irish writers - Swift, Yeats and Joyce - together with other voices
including Mangan, Beckett, Trevor, McGahern and Doyle. Donoghue's
forceful arguments, deep engagement with the critical tradition,
buoyant prose and extensive learning are all exemplified in this
collection. This book is essential reading for all those interested
in Irish literature and culture and its far-reaching effects on the
world.
