- This edited collection was conceived and commissioned by the editor after an approach by Cambridge University Press and the general editors of the six-volume Irish Literature in Transition series. The project was developed ab initio, with wholly new commissioned chapters written by leading international scholars in the field. A complete list of contents was drawn up and submitted to the press where it underwent a process of peer review by the general editors and at least three anonymous readers. The editor liaised with seventeen contributors, all tasked with producing chapters which gave accounts of Irish writing in the nineteenth century while establishing interdisciplinary connections with other disciplines, in particular with Irish history and Irish and other languages. The editing task took three years from contract to publication. The editor’s own contribution comprises an eight-thousand-word first chapter which introduces the book and sets out new ways of interpreting the transitional nature of the period in the light of current research and methodologies.
