A Short History of Irish Literature
First published in 1986, A Short History of Irish Literature combines the scholarship of exceptional range and depth with the power to persuade us to read authors we have forgotten or neglected, and to re-read sympathetically those we have insensitively undervalued or dismissed. From the earliest Gaelic poetry to Seamus Heaney and John Montague, from O Bruadair to O’Casey, Professor Deane is an admirable guide. He combines the clarity of the crit…
Small World
Seamus Deane is one of the most vital and versatile authors of our time. His new book presents an unmatched survey of Irish writing, and of writing about Irish issues, from 1798 to the present day. Elegant, polemical and trenchant, it addresses the political, aesthetic and cultural dimensions of several notable literary and historical moments, and monuments, from the island's past and present. The style of Swift; the continuing influence of Edmun…
Glimpses of an Irish Republic
The essay tracks the history of republicanism in Ireland during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The eighteenth-century rebellion of the United Irishmen of 1798 was based on the principles of the American and French Revolutions. But after the Great Famine of 1845–47, although republicanism survived as a political vision, it did so as only one element in the insurrectionary Fenian and parliamentary movements that grew out of the Young Irela…
Contemporary Irish culture and politics
Burke and Tocqueville
Edmund Burke and Alexis de Tocqueville agreed in their analyses of some of the causes of the French Revolution, most particularly on the role of the ‘‘men of letters,’’ and the prestige and influence they gained as the traditional political elites lost power. This new intellectual class became what Daniel Roche has called ‘‘a substitute government, at once omnipotent and powerless,’’ 1 the product of a state that was an unhappy mixture of modern …

Strange Country
This book traces the emergence of a self-consciously national tradition in Irish writing from the era of the French Revolution and, specifically, from Edmund Burke’s counter-revolutionary writings. From Gerald Griffin’s The Collegians to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and from James Hardiman’s Irish Minstrelsy to Synge, Yeats, and Joyce, Irish writing is dominated by a number of inherited issues: national character, conflict between discipline and excess…

The Production of Cultural Space in Irish Writing
Since the Act of Union (1800), which, in response to the Rebellion of 1798, incorporated Ireland into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the problem of representing the country became more imperative and more complicated than it had been before. It was not, in itself, a new problem. Since the earlier watershed in Irish history, the settlement of 1690, which established the Anglo-Irish ascendancy and culture, the question of the natu…
