After Ireland - Writing the Nation From Beckett to the Present

Political failures and globalization have eroded Ireland's sovereignty-a decline portended in Irish literature. Surveying the bleak themes in thirty works by modern writers, Declan Kiberd finds audacious experimentation that embodies the defiance and resourcefulness of Ireland's founding spirit-and a strange kind of hope for a more open nation.
