Publisher Notes
First Line: The clichés that obscure Ireland's richly layered complexity resurrect themselves regularly in Saint Patrick's Day hype and Hollywood reruns.
No one has produced more great English literature than Ireland, birthplace of an astonishing number of poets, storytellers, and dramatists. Susan Cahill has chosen more than sixty selections that reveal the intensity of feeling these writers posses for their homeland. With her trademark commentary, Cahill allows readers to walk the lively streets of Dublin with Jonathan Swift, Samuel Beckett and Roddy Doyle. They can continue on their journey to visit the wild glens of Wicklow with Seamus Heaney, bustling Limerick with Frank McCourt, breathtaking Sligo with William Butler Yeats, or hidden Clare with Edna O'Brien.
