A propos de cet article

Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Bound in brown cloth over boards, sharp and distinct gilt lettering to spine. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn. From the publisher's blurb, "This new study of The Bell magazine opens a window onto the Irish literary and cultural landscape of the mid-twentieth century. The Bell, which appeared monthly from 1940 to 1954, consciously promoted a multi-faceted version of Irish identity, one that could embrace both rural and urban realities, Gaelic and European influences, northern and southern traditions, wealthy and poor social classes, and many other seemingly contradictory voices in Irish culture. The author chronicles the colourful history of the magazine and discusses The Bell's contribution and response to the transformation of Irish society in the mid-twentieth century, as the experience of war and wartime censorship, the expansion of international relations, and the encroaching tide of technological modernization irrevocable changed the patterns of traditional Irish life." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. x, 1-208 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
