Northern Irish Literature, 1956-1975: Volume 1: The Imprint of History (2007)Hardcover - 2007, 9 November 2007

Northern Irish Literature, 1956-2001 examines the contexts for literary production over the past fifty years, addressing the troubled intersections of literature, history and politics. Each chapter focuses on a particular period of the 'Troubles', and offers detailed readings of both canonical and less-known texts by writers from different traditions and generations. In contrast to existing studies which often consider a single author or genre, this book explores the diversity that is Northern Irish literature and emphasises how writers and texts engage with one another.
