The book celebrates in particular the contribution of Irish writer Eilis Dillon to the form. It includes two scintillating essays by her children, respected writers and scholars Eilean Ni Chuilleanain and Cormac O Cuilleanain. Among the other notable scholars who contribute to the book are Robert Dunbar and David Rudd. Minor wear, dustjacket now in protective sleeve. [738]. Book. Book Condition: Very Good.
