The Modern Irish Novel: Irish Novelists After 1945
How do you introduce yourself to twelve major post-war Irish writers?
By joining Rudiger Imhof as he explores their lives and works in The Modern Irish Novel. Many contemporary Irish writers are discussed in detail, including Samuel Beckett, Brian Moore, Edna O'Brien, John Banville and John McGahern.
Writers such as Dermot Bolger, Roddy Doyle and Patrick McCabe, who have yet to attract as much critical attention as their predecessors, are also placed under Imhof's microscope.
Each of these writers plays or has played a vital role in shaping Irish culture. This definitive and absorbing critical study fills in many of the gaps in our understanding of their essential role in Irish life.
