From the 1890s until the 1920s, a great tide of literary
invention swept Ireland. As the country struggled for
political independence, the writers who formed the Irish
Literary Revival created a new, authentically Irish
literature. Some, such as W. B. Yeats, Lady Augusta Gregory,
and J. M. Synge, celebrated the mystical traditions of
Ireland’s west; others, such as Sean O’Casey, explored
Dublin’s crowded streets and tenements.
A Journey into Ireland’s Literary Revival offers a
fascinating, revealing, and beautiful look at the
relationship between these writers and the towns and
countryside that fueled their imaginations. Part history,
part biography, and part travel guide, it takes the reader
to Galway, the Aran Islands, Mayo, Sligo, Wicklow, and
Dublin. Along the route, it visits the cottages and castles,
crags and glens, theaters and pubs where some of the
country’s finest writers shaped an enduring vision of
Ireland.
With a gorgeous mix of four-color photographs,
custom-designed maps, and period art, A Journey into
Ireland’s Literary Revival exemplifies the qualities
that have won the “stunning and highly entertaining”
ArtPlace series praise from critics as varied as Publishers
Weekly, the New York Times, USA Today, Library Journal,
TravelSmart, Vanity Fair, and Town and Country. A Journey
into Ireland’s Literary Revival is being offered at a
special discount for a limited time.
