Harte's collection succeeds admirably. Gothic, romanticism, the historical novel, magic naturalism, social realism, modernism, hard-boiled noir, children's lit, film, political thrillers, police procedurals, the domestic novel, fiction in Irish, the Bildungsroman, post-modern experimentation - it's all here. If you teach modern literature, you will love this book. If you teach Irish literature, you will need it.
