Modern Irish Literature: Sources and Founders
Mercier, Vivian (late Professor of English, late Professor of English, University of California, Santa Barbara)
This is a major study of modern Irish literature by the distinguished scholar Vivian Mercier (1919-1989). Through highly readable analyses of such major figures as Yeats, Synge, Shaw, Joyce, and Beckett, Mercier shows how these writers made use of a Gaelic literary heritage to create a confident new tradition which has become the basis of modern Irish writing in English.
