This collection of twenty-two essays in literary criticism explores new research on concepts of radicalism and dissent in the analysis of Irish literature. Addressing a wide variety of source
material and themes, papers discuss topics such as post-colonialism and Irish identity, heroes and misfits in Irish popular culture, gender and feminism in twentieth-century Irish narratives,
and dissent and the Irish stage tradition. Contributors are academics in literary, film, and popular culture criticism from Irish and US Universities. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation
