Included are early figures John Millington Synge and James Joyce; dramatists Brian Friel, Conor McPherson, and Tom Murphy; and prize-winning contemporary fiction writers such as Edna OBrien, Joseph OConnor, William Trevor, Roddy Doyle, and Colum McCann. Each chapter focuses on one significant representative piece of contemporary Irish fiction or drama. Hallissy begins by filling in its cultural, historical, and literary background and identifying a key theme or key event in the Irish past essential to understanding the work. She then analyzes earlier literary compositions with the same theme and through a close reading of the contemporary work provides context for that background"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aUnderstanding modern European and Latin American literature. 606 $aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a822/.92099415 700 $aHallissy$b Margaret$01474328 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798597603321 996 $aUnderstanding contemporary Irish fiction and drama$93687939 997 $aUNINA
