Description
Review of the hardback: 'Between Spenser and Swift is filled with rich discoveries. While a number of recent studies … have started to demonstrate the significance of seventeenth-century English writing in Ireland, Deana Rankin's book is now the fullest account of this work and should encourage more detailed investigations, particularly in the thoroughly neglected area of drama.' The Times Literary Supplement

Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies
