Irish Interior: Keeping Faith with the Past in Gaelic Prose 1940-1951

Explores the issues within, but not strictly confined to the cultural nationalism of the Irish language movement, particularly the creative period during and just after WW II. O'Leary draws on a wide range of work, exploring writers including Seamus O Grianna, Sean Mac Maolain, and Padraig O Siochfradha. The study concludes with a discussion of Mairtin O Cadhain and Brian O Nuallain. ""One cannot overstate the extent of O'Leary's scholarship. This major contribution to Irish studies, Irish history, and sociolingistics is not likely to be superseded. . . . Highly recommended.""Choice ""This series will provide an unprecedented report and analysis and go some way towards the rehabilitation of the poor sister of the Anglo-Irish Literary Revival.""-Irish Literary Supplement
