Irish Orientalism: A Literary and Intellectual History (Syracuse University Press)

By Joseph Lennon

Book Overview

Centuries before W. B. Yeats wove Indian, Japanese, and Irish forms together in his poetry and plays, Irish writers found kinships in Asian and West Asian cultures. This book maps the unacknowledged discourse of Irish Orientalism within Ireland's complex colonial heritage.
