In this gathering and celebration of Irish eloquence, it is a particularly bracing pleasure to encounter the dark, odd imaginings of LeFanu and William Carleton's unblinking observation of Irish life at its lowest, harshest ebb. As Samuel Beckett once said, 'Nothing is funnier than unhappiness." - Christopher Cahill, president of The American Irish Historical Society and publisher of The Recorder. "Here is a grab-bag of writing of high literary quality engaged in divulging Ireland and its difficult history. Open it and the selection will reveal wonders." - Greg Delaney, author. "The serene landscapes and the turbulent history of Ireland have inspired the greatest writers in the modern literary canon. Recorded in the brilliant journalism of James Stephens and others, Ireland's struggle to go from a province to a full-fledged nation also echoes in the work of poets and playwrights such as J.M Synge, James Joyce, and William Butler Yeats. The literature conveys the beauty of the green-reached hills, the "brown imperturbable faces" of the houses in Joyce's Dublin, the barren thorns of a winter's night. Thanks to the genius of James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Lady Gregory, and other visionaries, millions of readers can enter a world where the mythical struggles of saints, leprechauns and Cu Chulainn find echoes in the modern strife of revolution and the war for independence. From the Rebellion of 1798 to the potato famine, from the exodus of many families out of Ireland to the Easter Rebellion and the war for independence, the greatness of Ireland filters through the prism of literary genius. Inspired by the love of their land, these writers rebelled against the icons of social, political, and cultural conformity. Equally in love with the landscapes and the spirited people, they wrote literature that resounds throughout Ireland and the world. Here for the first time, these 12 works of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction are collected in a single volume that recognizes their enormous literary contribution. Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Malachy McCourt provides an incisive introduction drawing on his vast knowledge of and love for the literature of Ireland. Voices of Ireland is indispensable for literature lovers, historians, students, and anyone interested in grasping how a small island has shaped the use of the English language in our day." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
