The study engages ideas of excess as they appear in works by major thinkers from Hegel, Kierkegaard and Marx through to Nietzsche, Bataille, Derrida and, more recently, Badiou. Poems, plays and fiction by a wide range of Irish authors are considered. These include works by Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, G. B. Shaw, Patrick Pearse, James Joyce, Sean OCasey, Louis MacNeice, Samuel Beckett, Elizabeth Bowen, Roddy Doyle, Seamus Heaney, Marina Carr and Medbh McGuckian. The readings presented illustrate how Matthew Arnolds nineteenth-century idea of the excessive character of the Celt is itself exceeded within the modernity of twentieth-century Irish writing. 000929949 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 9, 2020). 000929949 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$xIrish authors$$xHistory and criticism. 000929949 650_0 $$aIrish literature$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000929949 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030374122$$z9783030374129$$w(OCoLC)1127661748 000929949 830_0 $$aNew directions in Irish and Irish American literature. 000929949 852__ $$bebk 000929949 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-37413-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000929949 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:929949$$pGLOBAL_SET 000929949 980__ $$aEBOOK 000929949 980__ $$aBIB 000929949 982__ $$aEbook 000929949 983__ $$aOnline 000929949 994__ $$a92$$bISE
