Beskrivelse

This unique book explores the connections between events of Irish history and their effects on the Irish. It defines the Irish-cultural personality, examines Romantic -Uncatholic- visions of Yeats and Fitzgerald, Realistic Catholic visions of Joyce, Farrell and O'Connor and how they contrast with and parallel each other. "Of Cops and Priests" is about American Irish-Catholicism: loyality, family, religion, sex, guilt and repentence found in the works of Hogan, Breslin, Dunne, Uhnak, Gordon, O'Connor, Wolfe, Reardon and Daley. It examines the replacement of the collective stereotypes of Irish-American fiction by dynamically evolved figures as discussed by Spencer and illustrated by Hamil, Powers, and Hynes."
