Public Sphere

Browne, Harry

Revivalism and Modern Irish Literature: The anxiety of transmission and the dynamics of renewal

Brun, Fionntan de
9781782053149
The influence of revivalism is writ large in the history of modern Ireland, particularly as we commemorate a 'decade of centenaries'.

Campbell
