Stephen J. M. Brown

“The scope includes all works of fiction published in volume form, and dealing with Ireland or with the Irish abroad, and such works only. [It is not] a guide to the works of Irish novelists. Neither is it, properly speaking, a book of advice as to what is best to read.” – from the author’s Preface. About 1,700 titles are included, mostly annotated, arranged by author. There are also notes for each author. At the end are a number of lists, as follows: -Historical Fiction -Gaelic Epic and Romantic Literature -Folk-Lore and Legend -Fairy Tales for Children -Catholic Clerical Life -Humorous Books -Books for Boys
