This book examines the topic of excess in modern Irish writing in
terms of mysticism, materialism, myth and language. The study
engages ideas of excess as they appear in works by major thinkers
from Hegel, Kierkegaard and Marx through to Nietzsche, Bataille,
Derrida and, more recently, Badiou. Poems, plays and fiction by a
wide range of Irish authors are considered. These include works by
Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, G. B. Shaw, Patrick Pearse, James Joyce,
Sean O'Casey, Louis MacNeice, Samuel Beckett, Elizabeth Bowen,
Roddy Doyle, Seamus Heaney, Marina Carr and Medbh McGuckian. The
readings presented illustrate how Matthew Arnold's
nineteenth-century idea of the excessive character of the Celt is
itself exceeded within the modernity of twentieth-century Irish
writing.
