The literature of Ireland, written in both Irish and English, displays an exceptional richness and diversity. This Concise Companion surveys the Irish literary landscape across sixteen centuries up to the present, describing its features and landmarks. Entries range from ogam writing, developed in the 4th century, to the fiction, poetry, and drama of the 1990s. There are accounts of authors as early as Adamnan, 7th century Abbot of Iona, through to contemporary writers such as Roddy Doyle, Brian Friel, Seamus Heaney, and Edna O'Brien. There arealso brief accounts of major works such as Tain Bo Cuailnge - the Ulster saga reflecting the Celtic Iron Age - to Swift's Gulliver Travels, O Cadhain's Cre na Cille, and Banville's The Book of Evidence. The entries highlight the historical contexts of the writers and the events that sometimes directly inspired them - the Famine of 1845-8; the founding of the Abbey Theatre and its impact on playwrights such as J.M. Synge and Padraic Colum; the Easter Rising that stirred Yeats to the 'terriblebeauty' of 'Easter 1916'. There is a wealth of information on a wide range of topics including Catholicism, Protestantism, the Irish language, and on genres such as annals, bardic poetry, and folksong, as well as 140 completely new entries on present day writers and their works. There is a chronology of major historical events and cross-references that allow the reader to explore the entire interconnected network of relationships that is Irish literature.
