Irish Literature

A place to talk about Irish authors and literature. 

Welcome to the group!

Dia Duit and cead míle fálite!! I'm Heather, and I have a passion for Irish literature. Most people know of Yeats, Joyce, Shaw, Wilde, and maybe even Swift. But Irish literature has been on the forefront of good literature for hundreds of years, with a plethora of amazingly wonderful authors that have become far too obscure in my opinion. Hence, the creation of this group….a place where we can talk about everything that has to do with Irish Literature. Whether it be the famous writers, or those who have been forgotten. If you have a love for Irish literature, this is the place for you!

    For me, Goldsmith is up there with the best. Rarely spoken of these days - if I were a cynic I'd cite elitism ..... and of course the fact that he wrote easily understood verse.
