In this vibrant and accessible sequence of readings, Gerald Dawe explores the meaning of home in the work of Irish writers, including W. B. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, Derek Mahon and Gail McConnell.

Scholarly and stylish in approach, Dreaming of Home is an invaluable study for the general reader and student alike.
