Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This collection features seventeen essays and articles on various aspects of Irish literature, originally published over thirty years and now revised, extended, or translated from German. The topics range from individual writers and their works, including Jonathan Swift, William Butler Yeats, and Sean O'Casey, to broader themes such as nineteenth-century Irish poetry, the origins of the modern short story, and adaptations of Continental dramas by Irish playwrights. The final essay posits that the evolution of Irish literature from a colonial context parallels recent developments in the 'New Literatures in English.' While each contribution stands on its own, collectively they illustrate the growth of Irish Literary Studies as an academic field since the establishment of the International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures (IASIL) in 1970. The author, Professor Emeritus of English and American Literature at the University of Wuppertal, Germany, served as Chairman of IASIL from 1982 to 1985 and has published extensively on Irish literature, including works on Anglo-Irish literature and the impact of the First World War on drama.
