About Reviewing Ireland

This collection of essays and interviews marks the first five years in the history o/" Irish Studies Review. It brings together a body of work which has contributed significantly to the blossoming of Irish Studies as an academic field which cuts across the boundaries and borders which divide traditional disciplines. ISR has promoted the 'new' in Irish Studies and the work selected here is by emerging writers and scholars as well as some of the leading figures in the field, such as Terry Eagleton, Kevin Barry and George Watson. It includes interviews with writers such as Dermot Bolger. Eavan Boland and Paula Meehan. and other topics range from debates about the nature of Irish nationalism and post-nationalism, to the health of the Irish in Britain and, in an afterword by Garret FitzGerald, to Ireland in the twenty-first century. Like the journal from which it is selected, Reviewing Ireland will be of interest to general academic readers as well as the scholarly specialist, and will be a useful tool for researchers, students and teachers alike.
