The Irish Writing London redresses the critical deficit. A range of experts on particular Irish writers reflect on the diverse experiences and impact this immigrant group has had on the city. Such sustained attention to a location and concern of Irish writing, long passed over, opens up new terrain to not only reveal but create a history of Irish-London writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlongside discussions of MacNeice, Boland and McGahern, the autobiography of Brendan Behan and identity of Irish-language writers in London is considered. Written by an internal array of scholars, these new essays on key figures challenge the deep-seated stereotype of what constitutes the proper domain of Irish writing, producing a study that is both culturally and critically alert and a dynamic contribution to literary criticism of the city.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45084545155223,"sku":"9781441172488","price":17733.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441172488.webp?v=1767264589","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/irish-writing-london-volume-2-post-war-to-the-present-9781441172488","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
