About the Book

Heroic Revivals from Carlyle to Yeats reassesses the cultural andpolitical dimensions of the Irish Revival's heroic ideal and explores its implications for the construction of Irish modernity. By foregrounding the heroic ideal, it shows how the cultural landscape carved out by these writers is far from homogenous. This book thus revises the prevailing critical view that there was a single logic of heroism which led inevitably to the Easter Rising. Instead, Carlyle's leadership fetish is transformed in the Irish context into a flexible model of heroic intervention in history. Ultimately, Heroic Revivals from Carlyle to Yeats shows that the self-consciously anti-modern Revival writers, engaging with a dynamic aesthetic of heroism, are in fact the architects of Irish modernity.

Reviving the Irish Hero George Russell (AE): The Memory of Race J. M. Synge: Out of History into Legend Yeats and Ireland's Hero-History Coda: Was it for this?

About the Author :
GERALDINE HIGGINS is an Associate Professor in the English Department of Emory University, USA and Director of Emory's Irish Studies Program. She is a former associate director of the Yeats International Summer School.

Review :
'This is an extremely accessible book, written with crispness, clarity and wit, which should be of value to a range of readers: undergraduates and graduate students in Anglo-Irish literature, academic specialists in Irish studies. Though Higgins shows her familiarity with the body of contemporary scholarship, and her mastery of relevant critical theory, the style is sufficiently clear and free of scholarly exhibitionism that even a beginning student of the subject will be able to read it with ease.' - Nicholas Grene, Trinity College, Dublin, Republic of Ireland 'This is an attractively written, well researched and lively book, which will sell to senior undergraduates, postgraduates and the very large numbers of scholars and students who work in the ever-expanding field of Irish Studies.' - George Watson, University of Aberdeen, UK
