Description
This book provides a critical assessment and examination of the prose and poetry of Ireland's Samuel Ferguson. It presents a clear understanding of the shape and purpose of Ferguson's career as a writer, which extended over half a century. The scholarly sources from which Ferguson extracted many of his themes are carefully examined, as are the times during which Ferguson lived and wrote. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Irish literature, and the politics and history of nineteenth century Ireland.
