'Can we not build up a national tradition, a national literature,
which shall be none the less Irish in spirit from being English in
language?' W. B. Yeats This anthology traces the history of modern
Irish literature from the revolutionary era of the late eighteenth
century to the early years of political independence. From
Charlotte Brooke and Edmund Burke to Elizabeth Bowen and Louis
MacNeice, the anthology shows how, in forging a tradition of their
own, Irish writers have continually challenged and renewed the ways
in which Ireland is imagined and defined. The anthology includes a
wide-ranging and generous selection of fiction, poetry, and drama.
Three plays by W. B. Yeats, Augusta Gregory, and J. M. Synge are
printed in their entirety, along with the opening episode of James
Joyce's Ulysses. The volume also includes letters, speeches, songs,
memoirs, essays, and travel writings, many of which are difficult
to obtain elsewhere. 'Stephen Regan's anthology vividly and
valiantly presents a nation, and a national literature, coming into
being.' Paul Muldoon ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
