Nicholas Grene

Recenzje

Grene ultimately answers why a nation that, although belatedly, has exchanged an agricultural existence for common modernity, is still preoccupied by farming in its literature. Both thoughtful and accessible, he shows us how the story of the Irish farm is the story of Ireland itself.
