Download or read book A Readers Guide to Irish Fiction written by Stephen J. Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Readers' Guide to Irish Fiction The present Guide to Irish Fiction is intended by the author as the first part of a work in which it is hoped to furnish notes on books of all kinds dealing with Irish subjects. Before explaining the scope of this section of the work it may be well, in order to forestall wrong impressions, to say at once what it is not. In the first place, then, it does not lay claim to be a bibliography. By this I do not mean that I am content to be inaccurate or haphazard, but simply that I do not aim at exhaustive completeness. In the second place, it is not a catalogue of books by Irish writers. Lastly, it does not deal exclusively with books printed or published in Ireland. The author's aim has been to get together and to print in a convenient form a classified list of novels, tales, etc. (whether by Irish or by foreign writers), bearing on Ireland - that is, depicting some phase of Irish life or some episode of Irish history - and to append to each title a short descriptive note. Two things here call for some explanation, viz., the list of titles and the descriptive notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
