When complete the series will constitute a significant history of modern Anglo-Irish literature, and will encompass discussions of more than 50 writers. The present volume treats in detail the literary career if a major Irish satirst whose work today are almost entirely neglected, even in Ireland. A poet, a playwright and a novelist, O' Duffy's first notable achievement was his long, autobiographical political novel, The Wsted Island, which took the unpopular stance of criticising the Easters Rising. His masterpiece, however, was a mythical, science-fiction, satiric fantasy in three volumes, his Cuandine Triology. This lengthy work, completed despite poverty and ill health, is a richly comic indictment of politics, economics and social pretensions in Ireland and in the modern world. Through close critical analysis, Robert Hogan shows how its finest volumes, King Goshawk and the Birds and The Spacious Adventures of the Man in the Street, are in he great Irish satirical tradition of Swift and Shaw" - Publisher.
