This collection explores the intricate connections between Ireland and Europe through various lenses. It delves into early literary depictions of the mythical Brasil Island, examines the influence of Rousseau on Maria Edgeworth's work, and discusses Oscar Wilde's role in shaping modernity in Hungary. The anthology also addresses Samuel Beckett's literary contributions in Paris and the complexities faced by the Irish Beat Generation in Franco's Spain. It analyzes how Irish writers depict the Spanish Civil War and reflects on the moral landscapes in Kate O’Brien’s "Mary Lavelle." Further, it investigates John Broderick's engagement with the French Catholic novel and compares John McGahern’s "The Leavetaking" with its French translation. The narratives of the Irish diaspora are scrutinized through the works of Deirdre Madden, Anne Devlin, and Nuala O’Faolain. Other essays focus on Banville's portrayal of Prague, the themes of exile and migration in contemporary Irish literature, and the evolution of the state’s role in Ireland. The volume also touches on Ireland's representation in nineteenth-century French journals, the intersection of modernity and music hall culture, and the sustained connections of the Irish diaspora in Europe. Finally, it discusses the teaching of Irish as a foreign language and the impact of the ‘Ireland in Schools’ Forum on educational curricula.
