A Short History of Irish Literature

By Seamus Deane

First published in 1986, A Short History of Irish Literature combines the scholarship of exceptional range and depth with the power to persuade us to read authors we have forgotten or neglected. From the earliest Gaelic poetry to Seamus Heaney and John Montague, from O Bruadair to O'Casey, Professor Deane is an admirable guide.
