Northern Irish Literature, 1975-2006

Northern Irish Literature, 1975-2006 and its companion volume, Northern Irish Literature 1956-75, examine the contexts for literary production over the past fifty years, addressing the troubled intersections of literature, history and politics. Chapters focus on a particular period of the ‘Troubles’, and offer detailed readings of both canonical and lesser-known texts by writers from different traditions and generations. Unlike existing studies which often consider a single author or genre, these volumes explore the diversity that is Northern Irish literature and emphasises how writers and texts engage with one another.

Michael Parker is a Professor of English Literature at the University of Central Lancashire.
