A full understanding of Irish Literature and the consciousness of Irish writers requires seeing them in the context of the issues that dominated the period in which they wrote. The questions of nationality, race and religion, the nature of Irish identity and efforts to develop a cultural consciousness, exercise all nineteenth century Irish writers.
Vance moves from a brief survey of Irish literature prior to 1800 onto the contexts of Irish writing since 1800 covering, romanticism, the Victorian period, the Literary Revival and contemporary Irish writing. He also looks at Ireland in Europe and the Atlantic world, Irish cultural debates and current affairs as contexts for recent and contemporary literature.
