"This anthology offers the best new plays from Ireland's Abbey Theatre. In Hugh Leonard's "Love in the Title", a woman's visit to the Irish countryside leads to a surreal meeting with her own mother as a 30-year-old in 1964 and her grandmother as a 20-year-old in 1922. The frank exchanges that mark this meeting allow the women to remain in and represent their times, yet still communicate with each other. Frank McGuinness's "Dolly West's ..."

"For his latest body of work, Donald Teskey has cleared the decks. Gone is much of the pictorial paraphernalia familiar from earlier paintings: architectural scaffoldings in the form of tight networks of city streets, or, more recently, clusters of buildings around harbour walls. These essentially solid, sculptural frameworks are modelled by the fall of light. The combination of light and structure makes pathways for the viewer's eyes, o ..."

Paperback, 184 Pages, Published 1998 by Cork University Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-85918-190-4, ISBN: 1-85918-190-2

"If Brink's work represents the beginning of a backlash against Spenser and Ireland, then the Irish University Review's special anniversary edition is an appropriation of sorts. As the introduction explains, the journal's annual special issue tradition is to celebrate the achievement of an Irish writer. Anne Fogarty's introduction works hard to extend this function to an 'unsetding' author, eventually finding cause to celebrate the ..."
