Music and literature have always been closely connected in Ireland – to an extent perhaps unknown in other western European literatures.From the old legends to contemporary Irish writers the presence of music in poems, novels, and drama is overwhelming.
This book attempts to chart the contribution of music – traditional, classical and popular – to modern Irish literature in English. At the same time some chapters explore to what an extent a similar association of music and literature is possible in Galicia, providing insights into a number of works from different critical viewpoints.
