- Information
Description
This new selected edition of Kearney's writings on Ireland supplants his seminal text, The Irish Mind: Exploring Intellectual Traditions (a revised Introduction appears here), and extends Transitions: Narratives in Modern Irish Culture to which eight pieces are added comprising 50 per cent new material, and giving unique access to the state and status of Irish culture in the twenty-first century.
Twentieth-century Ireland witnessed a crisis of culture.
Experienced largely as a conflict between traditional aspiration and modern realism; transitions, however resisted, are inevitable.
Navigations encompasses the notion of the intellectual circumnavigation of early medieval and ancient Irish scholars and exchanges, and the shallows and deeps of competing arguments that make up these texts.
