The Irish novel has had a distinguished history. It spans such
diverse authors as James Joyce, George Moore, Maria Edgeworth, Bram
Stoker, Flann O'Brien, Samuel Beckett, Lady Morgan, John Banville,
and others. Yet it has until now received less critical attention
than Irish poetry and drama. This volume covers three hundred years
of Irish achievement in fiction, with essays on key genres, themes,
and authors. It provides critiques of individual works, accounts of
important novelists, and histories of sub-genres and allied
narrative forms, establishing significant social and political
contexts for dozens of novels. The varied perspectives and emphases
by more than a dozen critics and literary historians ensure that
the Irish novel receives due tribute for its colour, variety and
linguistic verve. Each chapter features recommended further
reading. This is the perfect overview for students of the Irish
novel from the romances of the seventeenth century to the present
day.
