Maggiori informazioni sul libro

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.
