Subjectivity and Nationhood in Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett: Nietzschean Constellationsreconceptualises Friedrich Nietzsche's position in the intellectual history of modernism and substantively refigures our received ideas regarding his relationship to these Irish modernists. Building on recent developments in new modernist studies, the book demonstrates that Nietzsche is a modernist writer and a modernist philosopher by drawing new parallels between his engagement with established philosophical theories and the aesthetic practices that Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot identified as quintessentially modernist. With specific reference to key Nietzschean philosophemes - eternal recurrence, the �bermensch, transnationalism, cultural paralysis, and ethical perspectivism - itchallenges the longstanding assumption that Yeats, who repeatedly acknowledged his admiration for Nietzsche, is the most 'Nietzschean' of these Irish modernists.
While showing how both Joyce and Beckett are in many important ways more 'Nietzschean' than Yeats, this interdisciplinary study makes a number of significant and timely contributions to the fields of Irish studies and modernist studies.

Fogarty, Matthew: - Matthew Fogarty is the author of Subjectivity and Nationhood in Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett: Nietzschean Constellations (Liverpool UP, 2023). He has published articles in the Irish Gothic Journal, International Yeats Studies, Modern Drama, the James Joyce Quarterly, and the Journal of Academic Writing. His current book project, Identity Politics and the Jazz Aesthetic: Ethnicity, Gender, and Class in Modern Transatlantic Literature, explores how white writers from Britain and Ireland have used and abused the jazz aesthetic to address formative sociopolitical developments and complex ethical concerns.
