Kiberd argues, in this a collection of his work over 25 years, that political conflict between Ireland and England resulted in cultural confluence and that writing in the Irish language was hugely influenced by the English literary tradition. He also covers Anglo-Irish literature, the fate of the Irish language and the Celtic Tiger.
