Writings on the culture and heritage of Ireland include "Today and Tomorrow in Ireland," "The Soul of Ireland," "Ireland: Island of Saints and Sages," and "The Irish Literary Renaissance."

Autor

Sooner or later, most undergraduates encounter him, and some scholars devote their careers to his exuberantly eloquent prose. James Joyce (1882–1941) led the vanguard of 20th-century fiction, and his experimental use of language and stream-of-consciousness technique continues to captivate, intrigue, and influence modern readers and writers.
