The Bell literary journal was founded by Sean O'Faolain and Peadar O'Donnell in 1940, and edited by O'Faolain until 1946, then by O'Donnell to 1954. Its index of writers reads like a dictionary of famous authors, some of whom were writers of stature at the time, while others were beginners, many of whom went on to become famous. This book presents the flavour of The Bell in its heyday. Writers featured are: Patrick Kavanagh, Eric Cross, Flann O'Brien, Frank O'Connor, Bryan McMahon, Brendan Behan, Louis McNeice, Monk Gibbon, Roger McHugh, Denis Johnston, Mary Lavin, Micheál Mac Laimmóir, Sean O'Faolain, and others. There a bibliographical note on each of the thirty-nine writers included in this selection.

Exploring the lives and works of more than 80 Irish writers—including playwrights, novelists, short story writers, poets, essayists, historians, humorists, and philosophers—this book examines Irish writing within the context of each writer’s life and times, while many curious details, such as the secret scribblings of an Irish rector, are revealed. Among those exposed are the author who turned to writing when he ran a sword through a fellow actor; the writer who stole a priest’s name; and the master of words who became “The Invisible Prince.” With wit and style, this book presents the essential biographical details of an diverse range of literary genius, from Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde, to Flann O'Brien, Elizabeth Bowen, and Seamus Heaney.

One of Ireland's best-known booksellers makes his annotated choice of the best, the most interesting, and the most influential books published in Ireland over the last century. In keeping with the congenial and maverick personality of the author, there are many unexpected inclusions, and some unexpected exclusions, notably James Joyce's Ulysses. The list begins with Aidan Higgins and finishes with William Trevor and on the way includes John Healy, Peadar O'Donnell, Peter Somerville-Large, Thomas Lynch, and Eilis Dillon. Kenny's arguments will intrigue, annoy, and delight in equal measure.

After ten years of upheaval -- not only the 'Troubles' in the north of Ireland but also great political and social changes in the south -- Irish writing is healthier, more vital and more searching than it has been for fifty years. This book marks this high point. The writers whose new work appears in this collection range in age from under twenty five to over eighty and differ widely in their choice of subject and theme: but they share a vision of the world and of experience which is coloured in a haunting way by an Irish perspective. Established writers -- Beckett, O'Flaherty, Faol in, Heaney -- have all provided unpublished work; and this is placed beside brilliant new work by younger writers and those with growing reputations. The editors have selected writing in Irish as well as English, and included extracts from novels, plays and short stories as well as poetry. The book is arranged so that a photograph of the writer faces the first page of his or her work. These studies, taken especially by Mike Bunn, provide a memorable exploration in themselves of the personalities of the writers. A book of such striking vidual and literaty impact serves as a timely reminder of the power and importance of the culture of modern Ireland.

In this absorbing analysis of modern Irish writing, an acknowledged expert considers the hybrid character of modern Irish writing to show how language, culture, and history have been affected by the colonial encounter between Ireland and Britain. Examining the great themes of loss and struggle, David Pierce traces the impact on Irish writing of the Great Famine and cultural nationalism and considers the way the work of Ireland’s two leading writers, W. B.Yeats and James Joyce, complicate and elucidate our view of "the harp and the crown.” The book draws a contrast between the West of Ireland in the 1930s, when the new Irish State enjoyed its first full independent decade, and the North of Ireland in the 1980s, when the spectre of British imperialism threatened the stability of Ireland. Pierce then surveys contemporary Irish writing and reflects on the legacy of the colonial encounter and on the passage to a postmodern or postnationalist Ireland in the work of such crucial living writers as John Banville, Derek Mahon, and John McGahern.
