While discussions in the field of Irish Studies traditionally
gravitate towards themes of struggle, oppression and death, the
present book originates from a contradictory impulse. Without
losing sight of Ireland's troubled history and the complexities
that shape its present, it centres on instances of playfulness,
light(ness) and air in Irish literature and culture. Refracted
through the prism of contemporary philosophy (notably of Italo
Calvino, Luce Irigaray and Maria Lugones), these categories serve
as the basis for thirteen essays by academics from Poland, the UK,
Germany and Spain. Some of these offer fresh readings of such
seminal authors as W. B. Yeats, Louis MacNeice, Seamus Heaney and
John Banville; others look at lesser-known figures, such as Eimar
O'Duffy and Forrest Reid, who, before now, have received little
scholarly attention.
