As such it offers a unique tour of Ireland's literary landscape, from early origins during the Catholic political resurgence of the 1820s to the transformative zenith wrought by James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e in 1922. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmer Nolan observes that contemporary Irish literature is steeped in the ambitions and internal conflicts of a previously captive Irish Catholic culture that came into its own with the narrative art form. He revisits, with keen insights, the prescient and influential songs, poems, and prose of Thomas Moore. He also points out that Moore's wildly successful work helped create an audience for authors to come, i.e. John and Michael Banim, William Carleton and the popular novelists Gerald Griffin and Charles Kickham. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An innovative aspect of this study is the author's exploration of the relationship between James Joyce and Irish culture and his nineteenth-century Irish Catholic predecessors and their political and national passions. It is, in effect, a telling look at the future history of Irish fiction.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmer Nolan\u003c\/b\u003e lectures in English at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.
