Wilde, Yeats, Joyce and Their Fathers
About This Novel
This book is a collection of literary criticism. Collects the manuscript of Colm Tóibín's lecture at Emory University, which was published in the London Review of Books. Tóibín offers an up-close and illuminating interpretative study of Irish culture, history, and literature through the lives and works of three men-William Wilde, John Butler Yeats, and John Stanislaus Joyce-and their intricate and far-reaching relationships with their complex sons. Through the stories of these three fathers and sons, Tóibín narrates the Irish resistance to British cultural hegemony, the birth of modern Irish cultural identity, and the outstanding contributions made by these complex and outstanding authors to the literary world.
