This book examines the topic of excess in modern Irish writing in terms of mysticism, materialism, myth and language. The readings presented illustrate how Matthew Arnold’s nineteenth-century idea of the excessive character of the Celt is itself exceeded within the modernity of twentieth-century Irish writing.
