Why a book on Eavan Boland? No critical study of one of Ireland’s most significant and ambitious living poets has been undertaken until now. Her collected writings seek nothing less than a redefinition of the myths structuring the current understanding of Ireland. Much as Shakespeare helped shape the Tudor myth and our historical consciousness of his time, much as Yeats drew from Ireland’s Celtic tradition to reinvest his age with an historical continuum, Boland seeks to reframe Ireland.

Our new release by Professor Andrew N. Woznicki, The Transcendent Mystery in Man: A Global Approach to Ecumenism (Academica Press,2007,ISBN 193314615X) explores man as a being who is endowed not only with immanent but also with transcendent virtual power as well, and through both of them man is capax Dei. The author states that the twofold virtual power enables man to participate in divinity either in a form of an act of believing in the factually existing God, and/or in a form of self discovering of one’s own being as divine.

Isert’s book, in the form of 12 long letters evidently written for publication, has excited great interest ever since there publication in 1788. Written in German, not P.E. Isert’s native Danish, the work has long been regarded as a key tool in understanding Danish involvement with the West Africa trade and the establishment of a flourishing Danish West Indian colony (now the American Virgin Islands). This is the first translation from German to English.

This research monograph a takes a bracing new look at the pieties and received scholarship dealing with the Irish Dramatic Revival of the late 19th and early 20 th century. Dr Vandevelde has reexamined the non canonical Irish theatre world and focuses on the understudied and the misunderstood world of commercial Dublin theatres, The Gaelic League and Daughters of Erin, National Players, The Player’s Club, Ulster Literary Theatre among numerous amateur, semi-professional and professional companies.

This monograph is a serious sustained study of one of Ireland’s most important emerging literary practitioners : Colm Toibin. Professor Turner focuses on the origins of Toibin’s career, his stylistic and thematic shift that became apparent in THE STORY OF NIGHT(1996). Another aspect of this critical evaluation is an examination of Toibin’s career as a journalist and non fiction writer.

Exile is ubiquitous in 20th century literature whether temporary expatriation or permanent flight. This quartet of self-exiled German - Australian poets/writers provides an unusual exile of second remove and an extraordinary study in language praxis. These gifted poets and critics fled to Australia because exile meant life and Nazi Europe meant death. They remained despite the lazy suspicion of many native Australians that these scholars were “worse than the pommies” (a terrible thing to be called in Oz) and were “prancing poufter poetasters”.

This discussion of Graham Greene’s faith uses Monsignor Quixote, one of Greene’s later novels, as a departure point to discuss the author’s faith in both secular and divine terms. The scholars involved in this project wanted to explore innocence and experience, peace and war, love and hate in Greene’s richly human literary tapestry. Greene’s Christianity (or lack of it) is explored, as are his major novels and their often bleak and tatty settings.

Four months in America, six months in Ireland, two months, perhaps, on tour around the world: such are the dislocations of contemporary Irish poets. This monograph explores how images of America---its culture, myths, dialects and history—translate into and transform the work of key contemporary Irish poets and their sense of identity. Economic considerations aside, this continuous peregrination often decades long has reshaped the very core of Irish poet expression.
