Description

Book Synopsis
Centuries before W.B. Yeats wove Indian, Japanese and Irish forms together in his poetry and plays, Irish writers found kinships in Asian and West Asian cultures. This book maps the unacknowledged discourse of Irish Orientalism within Ireland's complex colonial heritage.

Trade Review
A fascinating read, inaugurating its subject with style and substance and opening a whole new critical conversation. A fascinating study of the parallels between Orientalism and Celticism. Original, provocative, and compelling. Its central thesis—that a tradition of Irish contact. . . . existed with Asia and North . . . is startling. The author's exhaustive research is evident and his manner of presentation . . . engages the reader.
