Publisher's Synopsis

The Irish literary child has its nascence in earliest Celtic mythology and flourishes as an emblem of the Irish nation throughout Irish literature. This book focuses on the development of this symbolic figure in 20th century Irish poetry and prose and juxtaposes the figure of the literary child with the political and social conditions of Ireland.
