Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Ray Ryan presents the first comparative study of literature and culture from Ireland and Scotland. Through comparison with Scotland, Ryan argues that crucial themes in Irish culture emerge with new clarity: themes such as Republicanism and colonialism, the city and rural divide, and the partition of Ireland into separate southern and northern states. He engages with a broad range of Irish and Scottish literary texts, few of which have received any previous critical attention.
MoreLong description:
While political connections between Ireland and Scotland have been vigorously promoted in recent years, Ray Ryan presents the first sustained, comparative study of literature and culture from both sites. Ryan's focus is on the Irish state and the Scottish nation. How does literature from the Republic create the cultural shape and personality of the Irish state? Through comparison with Scotland, a stateless nation, Ryan argues that crucial themes in Irish culture emerge with new force and clarity: themes such as Republicanism and colonialism, the city and rural divide, and the partition of the island into separate 'southern' and 'northern' spheres. Analysing a broad range of Irish and Scottish literary texts, Ryan shifts attention from the traditionally defined canon of Irish culture, and establishes the relevance of Scotland for any future discussion of Irish cultural contexts. Offering a radical intervention across a range of disciplines, this book is essential reading for all those working on Ireland, on Scotland, and on contemporary English and British culture.
... as a well-written, insightful book full of interesting ideas, Ireland and Scotland will certainly be of value to scholars of Irish writing.
