{"product_id":"after-yeats-and-joyce","title":"After Yeats and Joyce","description":"Irish 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.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254544191832,"sku":"9780192892317","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780192892317_ce736824-f39f-4cfc-87a4-ef0176d0c2bb.jpg?v=1778552166","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/after-yeats-and-joyce","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
