Opis

This informative and incisive collection of essays sheds new light on the literary interrelations between Ireland, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic. It charts an under-explored history of the reception of modern Irish culture in Central and Eastern Europe and investigates how key authors have been translated, performed, and adapted.
