Exploring the theme of excess in modern Irish literature, this study intertwines mysticism, materialism, myth, and language. It analyzes the works of influential thinkers like Hegel, Nietzsche, and Derrida, alongside a diverse array of Irish authors, including Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, and Samuel Beckett. The readings challenge Matthew Arnold's notion of the Celt's excessive nature, revealing how twentieth-century Irish writing transcends this idea, showcasing a rich tapestry of poetic, dramatic, and fictional expressions.
