{"product_id":"after-yeats-and-joyce","title":"After Yeats and Joyce","description":"\u003cp\u003eIrish literature after Yeats and Joyce, from the 1920s onwards, includes texts which have been the subject of much contention. For a start how should Irish literature be defined: as works which have been written in Irish or as works written in Englsih by the Irish? It is a period in which ideas of Ireland--of people, community, and nation--have been both created and reflected, and in which conceptions of a distinct Irish identity have been articulated, defended, and challenged; a period which has its origins in a time of intense political turmoil. `after Yeats and Joyce' also suggests the immense influence of these two writers on the style, stances, and preoccupations of twentieth-century Irish literature. Neil Corcoran focuses his chapter on various themes such as `the Big House', the rural and provincial, with reference to authors from Kinsella and Beckett to William Trevor, Seamus Heaney, and Mary Lavin, providing a lucid and far-reaching introduction to modern Irish writing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neil Corcoran","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43643093516349,"sku":"9780192892317","price":77.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780192892317_aa865c9c-507f-468c-8593-c8464bc54987.jpg?v=1789682145","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/after-yeats-and-joyce","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
