This book shows that Shakespeare continues to influence
contemporary Irish literature, through postcolonial, dramaturgical,
epistemological and narratological means. International critics
examine a range of contemporary writers including Eavan Boland,
Marina Carr, Brian Friel, Seamus Heaney, John McGahern, Frank
McGuinness, Derek Mahon and Paul Muldoon, and explore Shakespeare's
tragedies, histories and comedies, as well as his sonnets.
Together, the chapters demonstrate that Shakespeare continues to
exert a pressure on Irish writing into the twenty-first century,
sometimes because of and sometimes in spite of the fact that his
writing is inextricably tied to the Elizabethan and Jacobean
colonization of Ireland. Contemporary Irish writers appropriate,
adopt, adapt and strategize through their engagements with
Shakespeare, and indeed through his own engagement with the world
around him four hundred years ago.
