Reviews

""The breadth and brio of Silence in Modern Irish Literature ensue mainly from the contributors’ mastery of their field, from its concentration and coherence, and from its selection of prestigious Irish authors across the many genres, geotemporal divisions, national affiliation, religious dominations, and philosophical discourses."" - Ruben Moi, The Arctic University of Norway, in New Hibernia Review, Vol 21.3 (2017), pp. 155-158 ""In its focus on gaps and ruptures in speech, Silence in Modern Irish Literature marks a unique and important contribution to Irish Studies, one that alters approaches to reading practices themselves by shifting the focus from what is articulated, to what remains unspoken, but which nevertheless conveys meaning."" - Bridget English, Études irlandaises, 42-2 (2017), pp. 154-156. ""Readers with an interest in modern Irish literature, modern drama, fiction and poetry; Postcolonial Studies, Gender Studies, and those interested in psychoanalytical and philosophical approaches to literature will find this a valuable and insightful collection."" - Robert Finnigan, University of Sunderland, in Estudios Irlandeses, (2018) Read the full review: https://www.estudiosirlandeses.org/reviews/silence-in-modern-irish-literature/ “As this wide-ranging and often illuminating collection ably demonstrates, there is much to be said for attending to the role of silence in modern Irish literature. [T]he collection manages not only to reflect on the role of silence in Irish writing, but also to remedy silences in Irish literary historiography.” -Lloyd (Meadhbh) Houston, in International Yeats Studies,” Vol. 2, Iss. 2, pp.69-73 (2018)
