Nietzsche and Irish Modernism demonstrates how the ideas of the
controversial German philosopher played a crucial role in the
emergence and evolution of a distinctly Irish brand of modernist
culture. Making an essential new contribution to the history of
modernism, the book traces the circulation of these ideas through
the writings of George Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats, and James Joyce,
as well as through minor works of literature, magazine articles,
newspaper debates, public lectures, and private correspondence.
These materials reveal a response to Nietzsche that created abiding
tensions between Irish cultural production and reigning religious
and nationalist orthodoxies, during an anxious period of Home Rule
agitation, world war, revolution, civil war, and state building.
With its wealth of detail, the book greatly enriches our
understanding of modernist culture as a site of convergence between
art and politics, indigenous concerns and foreign perspectives. --
