Irish Literature in Transition, 1780–1830: Volume 2
«'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»
The years between 1780 and 1830 are vital decades in the history of Irish writing in English. This book charts the confluence of Enlightenment, antiquarian, and romantic energies within Irish literary culture and shows how different writers and genres absorbed, dispersed and remade those interests during five decades of political change.

«'I highly recommend this rich and valuable book to anyone interested in Irish nineteenth-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»
«'… 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»
«'… Connolly's book's self-professed goal of 'reorienting our understanding of Irish literature' remains an essential task even after decades of significant developments. I imagine that a work of this quality might be able to achieve that goal, as well.' Brian C. Cooney, European Romantic Review»
