This illustrated work will prove invaluable as a research and informational tool in understanding the rich and varied literary life in Ireland during the last 50 years of the 20th century. Each year is discussed through the key books, articles and reviews of the day and each year is illustrated with interesting and sometimes rare photographs and drawings. The development of Irish writing from the rather somber and repressed post war years to the present riches in poetry and novels and belle-lettres is a gripping and compelling story. The almanac should prove useful as a teaching supplement as well as aide memoire for a period that saw terrific change and upheaval in the literary world and Ireland's emergence as a prosperous successful European nation. with an enviable national literature.
