Edited by Christina Hunt Mahony
Barry is recognized as one of
Ireland’s greatest living writers and his works now appear regularly
on syllabuses in U.S. colleges in Irish Studies and in Drama
departments. This book, edited by Christina Hunt Mahony, presents
twelve essays that trace the development of the writer’s career and
the individual achievement of his works, concentrating largely, but
not exclusively, on the plays. The essays address Barry’s engagement
with the contemporary cultural debate in Ireland and also with
issues that inform postcolonial critical theory.
