With a comprehensive introduction providing a continuum from the Celtic Twilight to the present day and with helpful literary and historical chronologies, Contemporary Irish Literature is organized by genre, with sections on poetry, drama, and fiction. The profusion of award-winning Irish poets, playwrights, and novelists is discussed in terms of the roles these writers play within the current Irish literary renaissance - occurring simultaneously with Ireland's most recent modernization and prosperity - and their own individual merits.
