Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Since Irish writers first began to write in English, their presence on the stage of world literature has been remarkable, culminating in the Nobel Prizes awarded to Yeats, Shaw, Beckett and Heaney. This pocket history traces the long list of Irish dramatists, poets, novelists and short-story writers from Swift to the end of the 20th century.

The Eighteenth Century: Rationalism, Anti-Colonialism, Philosophy and Comedy -- Nineteenth Century Fiction before the Famine -- Romantic Poetry, Nationalism and the Gothic -- Social Comedy with a Message: Wilde and Shaw -- Seriousness and Humour in the Novel -- The Literary Revival -- The Abbey in the 1920s and 1930s -- Joyce and Fiction: 1920s to 1940s -- Poetry after Yeats -- Samuel Beckett and Modern Drama -- Novelists from the 1950s on -- Contemporary Poetry.
