More about the book

The book explores the evolution of Irish Modernism through the works of key figures like Joyce, Yeats, and Beckett, highlighting how Ireland's late embrace of modernity shaped its literary landscape. It examines the impact of the 1916 Easter Rising and subsequent nationalisms, which led to a cultural retreat and forced many writers into a state of 'inner migration.' The narrative focuses on the second generation of Irish Modernists who sought to break free from the confines of 1930s Ireland, challenging the prevailing artistic and societal norms, particularly those established by Yeats.
