The Blackwell Companion to Modern Irish Culture Reviews

"Particularly good entries may be found on 'Censorship', 'Suburbs', 'Historians terms', 'Medicine, contributions to', Copyright and piracy in the eighteenth century' and 'Colonisation, theories of', to take just a random selection. The panel of contributors seems very strong and the editor's remarks on them as a body are very interesting. The work is comprehensively indexed (hooray)." Peter J. Guilding, Reference Reviews

"McCormack presents a fascinating snapshot of modern Ireland. With its emphasis on Irish culture beyond Yeats and Heaney, this is an invaluable addition to any reference collection." J.J. Doherty, Northern Arizona University


"The Companion is a bounteous compilation, from which students and casual readers alike will emerge with a far healthier idea of what has constituted Irish culture in the modern era."The Times Higher Education Supplement

"The Blackwell Companion to Modern Irish Culture, edited by W. J. McCormack is particularly useful for basic information on interdisciplinary terms, movements, and other topics. A thorough topic index aids access." Choice

"Like most books from this publisher, the Blackwell Companion to Modern Irish Culture is a handsome volume. In its outward appearance, the Companion is an object that book-buying people almost automatically covet". Anglia: Zeitschrift fur Englische Philologie
