Reviews

'I highly recommend this rich and valuable book to anyone interested in Irish snineteenth-century literature, in romanticism-or simply in brilliant analysis brilliantly expressed.' Patrick R. O'Malley, Review 19 'Irish Literature in Transition, 1780-1830 is an invaluable collection, of interest to all scholars of the Romantic period. Confirming the need to read beyond the nation, this volume's contributions successfully redraw the map of Irish literary history, offering innovative and invigorating new avenues of research.' Anne-Claire Michoux, The BARS Review 'Transition is opportunity, innovation, and critical necessity. Connolly has assembled and modelled an innovative range of essays which will set future research into motion.' Rebecca Anne Barr, Romantic Circles '... a remarkably ambitious project, taking the temperature of Irish literature from 1730 to the present in approximately 2,400 pages.' Anthony Roche, Irish Times

Rebecca Anne Barr, Romantic Circles 'This is an extraordinary achievement, a hugely enjoyable and instructive read. It does not leave Irish Studies as it found it, instead renovating and extending the subject.' Anthony Roche, Irish Times '… show[s] how an attention to Irish writing can transform how we understand key concepts like romanticism; literary genres like realism, the gothic, ballads; political formations like empire and the transatlantic slave trade; and periodical culture. I highly recommend these books to scholars interested in learning more about Ireland as well as to established scholars of Irish literature.' Mary L. Mullen, Nineteenth-Century Contexts 'This is an indispensable collection for scholars and students of Irish studies and Romantic studies alike.' Colleen English, Irish Studies Review
