Description 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.
Publisher Description
Modern Irish Literature: Sources and Founders marks the culmination of the lifetime interest of the distinguished scholar Vivian Mercier (1919-89) in the influence of Gaelic literature on modern Irish writing.Building on the insights developed in his classic The Irish Comic Tradition, in which he traced the continuity of attitudes and subjects of Irish writers from pre-Christian times to the present, Professor Mercier's focushere is on the research of nineteenth-century scholars which gave rise to the revival of Irish literature in English. Separate chapters analysing the work of writers including Bernard Shaw, Yeats, Synge, Joyce, andBeckett build to provide a fresh and timely picture of Irish literary tradition.Informed by a wealth and diversity of scholarship, and written in a highly accessible style, this book stands as a memorial to the achievement of Vivian Mercier and as an important contribution to the study of Irish literature.
