Cover of A Norman Jaffares & A. Norman Jeffares: O'Brien Pocket History of Irish Writers (ePUB)

This book includes all the leading Irish writers and some of the lesser known: playwrights, novelists, short story writers, poets. It places them in context and provides a list of their works. Commentaries give brief but telling insights into their work.

The story of Irish writing is followed, beginning with Swift, and working through playwrights Synge and OCasey to Beckett and Friel; in novels, from Maria Edgeworth, through Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, Kate OBrien, Flann OBrien to contemporaries Julia OFaolain and Roddy Doyle; from nineteenth-century poetry through Yeats to Paul Durcan.
