'This set will be valuable for those interested in the rich Irish literary tradition, including those desiring to reach beyond accepted historical narratives … Highly recommended.' M. Knight, Choice
'This set will be valuable for those interested in the rich Irish literary tradition, including those desiring to reach beyond accepted historical narratives … Highly recommended.' M. Knight, Choice
'… a remarkably ambitious project, taking the temperature of Irish literature from 1730 to the present in approximately 2,400 pages.' Anthony Roche, Irish Times
'This edited collection of nineteen articles by an impressive range of contributors highlights the current trends and values in Irish eighteenth-century scholarship … One of the strengths of this particular volume is that it is aimed at not only those with an interest in Irish literature, but also those interested in eighteenth-century writing generally … the variety of material, writers, and approaches means that even readers familiar with many of these writers will find much that is new and striking. These essays bring neglected writing and writers to the fore and shed new light on others. Most significantly, these essays help to reveal the richness, complexity, and sophistication of this period in Irish letters. The real strength of these essays might be in the way they allow this writing and the issues raised to have new life and significance today.' Jim Shanahan, Eighteenth-Century Fiction
