The story of Irish modernism constitutes a remarkable chapter in
the movement's history. This volume serves as an incisive and
accessible overview of that brilliant period in which Irish artists
not only helped to create a distinctive nationalist literature but
also changed the face of European and anglophone culture. This
Companion surveys developments in modernist poetry, drama, fiction
and the visual arts. Early innovators, such as Oscar Wilde, George
Bernard Shaw, Jack B. Yeats and James Joyce, as well as late
modernists, including Elizabeth Bowen, Samuel Beckett, Flann
O'Brien, Mairtin O Cadhain and Francis Bacon, all appear here.
Significantly, however, this volume ranges beyond such iconic
figures to open up new ground with chapters on Irish women
modernists, Irish American modernism, Irish-language modernism and
the critical reception of modernism in Ireland."
