内容説明
An anthology of Irish fiction, from "Gulliver's Travels" to the current younger generation of Irish writers. It includes sections from novels, with an introduction explaining the context, as well as short stories. Work is chosen on literary merit rather than the light it throws on Irish history or politics. The way writers use form and language is the central concern. Two main strains of writing is identified: innovators - Swift, Sterne, Joyce, Beckett, O'Brien and Banville; the other strain is the quiet melancholy tradition at its most intense in Elizabeth Bowen and John McGahern. Major writers are represented by more than one piece.

内容説明
The Penguin Book of Irish Fiction represents the entire tradition of Irish fiction in English from Jonathan Swift, born in 1667, to Emma Donoghue, born in 1968. It includes the full text of certain key masterpieces such as Gulliver in Lilliput, Maria Edgeworth's "Castle Rackrent", Joyce's "The Dead", Beckett's "First Love", and John McGahern's "The Country Funeral" and work by almost one hundred writers. It represents, for the first time in one volume, the entire canon of Irish writing and is likely to become the essential book for anyone interested in Irish literature.
