Rezensionen

«The essays in this volume will always inform, frequently command enthusiastic assent, and doubtless occasionally provoke vigorous dissent. They represent one of the most important contributions third-level institutions can make to the future of Ireland, through deepening understanding of the nature of a long, enriching and intriguing relationship between our two countries, thus enhancing Irish awareness of wider issues involved in locating ourselves in a rapidly changing world.» (Professor Joe Lee, Glucksman Chair of Irish Studies, New York University)"The essays in this volume will always inform, frequently command enthusiastic assent, and doubtless occasionally provoke vigorous dissent.
