    This book focuses on the drama and poetry published since 1990. It also reflects upon related forms of creative work in this period, including film and the visual and performing arts. The book discusses some of the most topical issues which have emerged in Irish theatre since 1990. It traces the significance of the home in the poetry of Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin and Vona Groarke. The book also focuses on the reconfigurations of identity, and the complex intersections of nationality, gender and race in contemporary Ireland. It shows how Roddy Doyle's return to the repressed gives articulation to those left behind by globalisation. The book then examines the ways in which post-Agreement Northern fiction negotiates its bitter legacies. It also examines how the activity of creating art in a time of violence brings about an anxiety regarding the artist's role, and how it calls into question the ability to re-present atrocity. The book further explores the consideration of politics and ethics in Irish drama since 1990. It talks about the swirling abundance of themes and trends in contemporary Irish fiction and autobiography. The book shows that writing in the Irish Republic and in the North has begun to accommodate an increasing diversity of voices which address themselves not only to issues preoccupying their local audiences, but also to wider geopolitical concerns

The chief transformation was the rise of the lyric as it is now conceived: a genre in which a first-person speaker talks about itself.

    Provides a collection of in-depth readings of British writers that have come to prominence in the twenty-first century "This book offers readings of five of the most interesting and original voices to have emerged in Britain since the millennium as they tackle the challenges of portraying the new century. Through close readings of the work of Ali Smith, Andrew O'Hagan, Tom McCarthy, Sarah Hall and Jon McGregor, Daniel Lea opens a window onto the formal and thematic concerns that characterise a literary landscape troubled by both familiar and unfamiliar predicaments. These include questions about the meaning of humanness in an age of digital intercourse; about the need for a return to authenticity in the wake of postmodernism; and about the dislocation of self from the other under neoliberal individualism. By relating its readings of these authors to the wider shifts in contemporary literary criticism, this book offers in-depth analysis of important landmarks of recent fiction and an introduction to the challenges of understanding the literature of our time."--Provided by publisher Even the Dogs (2010)This Isn't the Sort of Thing That Happens to Someone Like You (2012); Coda; Notes; Select bibliography; Index Personality (2003)Be Near Me (2006); The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe (2010); The Illuminations (2015); Coda; Notes; 3 Tom McCarthy; Remainder (2005); Tintin and the Secret of Literature (2006); Men in Space (2007); C (2010); Satin Island (2015); Coda; Notes; 4 Sarah Hall; Haweswater (2002); The Electric Michelangelo (2004); The Carhullan Army (2007); How to Paint a Dead Man (2009); The Beautiful Indifference (2011); 'Mrs Fox'; The Wolf Border (2015); Coda; Notes; 5 Jon McGregor; If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things (2002); So Many Ways to Begin (2006)
