Ireland in fiction

Stephen J. M. Brown

“The scope includes all works of fiction published in volume form, and dealing with Ireland or with the Irish abroad, and such works only. [It is not] a guide to the works of Irish novelists. Neither is it, properly speaking, a book of advice as to what is best to read.” – from the author’s Preface. About 1,700 titles are included, mostly annotated, arranged by author. There are also notes for each author. At the end are a number of lists, as follows: -Historical Fiction -Gaelic Epic and Romantic Literature -Folk-Lore and Legend -Fairy Tales for Children -Catholic Clerical Life -Humorous Books -Books for Boys
