A History of Irish Working-Class Writing provides a wide-ranging
and authoritative chronicle of the writing of Irish working-class
experience. Ground-breaking in scholarship and comprehensive in
scope, it is a major intervention in Irish Studies scholarship,
charting representations of Irish working-class life from
eighteenth-century rhymes and songs to the novels, plays and poetry
of working-class experience in contemporary Ireland. There are few
narrative accounts of Irish radicalism, and even fewer that engage
'history from below'. This book provides original insights in these
relatively untilled fields. Exploring workers' experiences in
various literary forms, from early to late capitalism, the
twenty-two chapters make this book an authoritative and substantial
contribution to Irish studies and English literary studies
generally.
