Exploring the theme of excess in contemporary Irish literature, this study delves into mysticism, materialism, myth, and language through the lens of influential philosophers like Hegel, Nietzsche, and Derrida. It analyzes a diverse array of works from notable Irish authors, including Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, and Samuel Beckett, demonstrating how their writings transcend Matthew Arnold's notion of the excessive Celt. The book presents a rich tapestry of poetic, dramatic, and fictional narratives that reflect the complexities of modern Irish identity.
