About this book
Reviews
“The collection is successful in establishing what its coeditors set out to prove: that Shaw was a major Irish modernist, and more deeply engaged with Irish politics and the struggle for Irish independence than he and his supporters often liked to acknowledge. ... Bernard Shaw and the Making of Modern Ireland opens up exciting new avenues for both Irish studies and Shaw scholarship.” (Susan Harris, Victorian Studies, Vol. 65 (2), 2023)
“Bernard Shaw and the Making of Modern Ireland offers a valuable corrective to Shaw’s neglect by Irish studies, and I have learned a great deal from it. Indeed, my understanding of the Shavian canon and of ‘public Shaw’s’ involvement in Irish political discourse has undergone a salutary revision for which I am most grateful to the editors of and contributors to this excellent volume.” (Stephen Watt, SHAW The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies, Vol. 41 (1), 2021)
