"Dublin's writers rarely remain solemn for long: their wicked sense of humour has travelled the world.

Fashions in verse come and go. Too often we forget -- paradoxically -- the most memorable works of wit, sarcasm or absurdity. The ones gathered here were written over four centuries,...

"'Despite his deep sense of privacy, Beckett's persona has been so widely written about that it has become unavoidably mixed up in our imagination with what Bernold calls his "creatures". Whether or not Barthes and Foucault were right to dismiss the figure of the author, when confronted with Vladimir wincing or Krapp hunched over his tape recorder or Molloy resting on his bicycle, one's mind always seems to turn to the "gentle mask" placed over the...

"Ireland, and in particular Dublin, was Samuel Beckett's cradle, a place, in Eoin O'Brien's words, he revisited 'with the same intensity that Proust went back to Combray'. It was fitting, then, shortly after Beckett's death, that his birthplace -- through the good offices of the Gate Theatre, Trinity College and Radi Telef s ireann -- should have decided to honour the 1969 Nobel prize-winner by staging all of his dramatic productions over three...
