Synopsis
The anthology is part of a series providing access to works that have played a significant role in Irish literature and history but are not considered significant enough to reprint in modern English-language editions. Among the writers represented are Jonathan Swift, George Berkeley, Oliver Goldsmith, Sir Richard Steele, Laurence Sterne, Edmund Burke, the ever-popular Anonymous, and many not previously known except to specialists. Biographical sketches introduce each one. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
