Description
Summary:'Modern Irish and Scottish Literature' explores the ways Irish and Scottish literatures have influenced each other from the 1760s onwards. Although an early form of Celticism disappeared with the demise of the Celtic Revivals of Ireland and Scotland, the 'Celtic world' and the 'Celtic temperament' remained key themes in central texts of Irish and Scottish literature well into the 20th century. Richard Barlow examines the emergence, development and transformation of Celticism within Irish and Scottish writing and identifies key connections between modern Irish and Scottish authors and texts.
