Distance of Irish Modernism
«With this wonderful book, John Greaney brilliantly demonstrates that if a little deconstruction turns away from history, a lot brings us back to the layered histories of Ireland. In a series of masterful analyses combining theoretical sophistication and contextual accuracy, Greaney reframes Irish modernism. Rejecting the historicist flattening of texts taken as unambiguous documents of postcolonialism, he highlights new capacities for deviance, resistance and dehiscence, taking us to 'giddy heights linking unfathomable abysses' marked by verticality and untranslatability.»
