Irish Writers Series

Volumes in the Irish Writers Series appeared between 1970 - 1978 under the general editorship of J.F. Carens, consisting of studies of more than 40 Irish writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Each volume is devoted to one writer, giving a full account of their literary career and major works, and considering the relationship of the writer's Irish background to their writings as a whole. Every volume is accompanied by a select bibliography. These studies bring to bear on their subjects contemporary critical insights, attitudes, and techniques.

Inspired by the success that this series enjoyed in the 1970's, Bucknell University Press sought to add to its reputation in Irish Studies. In 2009, the Press commenced a new series of books on Contemporary Irish Writers.
