Klappentext
This book meticulously analyzes Cruiskeen Lawn , a popular column published in The Irish Times by Irish writer Myles na gCopaleen (real name Brian O'Nolan, though also known as Flann O'Brien), from 1940 to 1966. Cruiskeen Lawn was a comic literary column devoted to offering a sharp and incisive portrait of mid-twentieth century Ireland. Conscious of the historical significance of twenty-six years' worth of political commentary by a renowned intellectual figure such as O'Nolan, this book examines the total of 4, 032 newspaper articles that compose Cruiskeen Lawn with a twofold aim: firstly, to understand Myles na gCopaleen's Cruiskeen Lawn as a work of political commentary and to view the column as a historical account of mid-twentieth century Ireland; and secondly, to determine O'Nolan's own political philosophy through a close reading of his opinions on the political events discussed throughout the book.
