Recenzii
Robert Welchs final book, written before his death in 2013, is a marvellous primer on Irish literary history... This book is an education, not just in literary history but in the psychology of the island ... It is radiant with enthusiasm; it is written with great psychological acuity; and it has the kind of narrative zest that means that it is best read whole... It should certainly be required reading for those who teach Irish literature. It gives a survey broad enough to provide a satisfying map of Irish literary history and detailed enough to provide something new about each text that is examined. It could only have been written after a lifetimes reading, thinking and feeling.
The Cold of May Day Monday flows boldly through the troubled stream of Irish literature. A major achievement of scholarship and narrative, it is that rare book that hears wild laughter in the archives of a troubled island.
Nobody has written about Irish literature with a more immediate sense of its value and the human values and passions it comes out of than Welch.
