Recent developments in Irish literature are largely ignored in
existing critical texts on Irish culture. This is the first study
to make a detailed examination of the new novelists and themes
emerging in the genre, as well as covering the foundations of
contemporary Irish fiction. Gerry Smyth provides a broad overview
of the forms and theories that comprise the traditional Irish novel
and explores the ways in which modern writers challenge established
notions of Irish fiction. Focusing on the work of leading
contemporary Irish writers - including Roddy Doyle, Glenn
Patterson, Emma Donoghue and Patrick McCabe - Smyth employs
innovative techniques in his analysis, such as the relevance of
post-colonial theory to Irish literature, and the links between
literature and wider cultural and political developments. Also
included is a previously unpublished interview with Roddy Doyle.
