Cover of Carleton's "Traits and Stories" and the 19th Century Anglo-Irish Tradition
Tracing each story from its original appearance to Carleton's last revisions, this book discusses his alterations and their relationship to the writer's changing attitudes and skills and to the literary climate in which he wrote. Some of his most startling alterations concern passages removed or rewritten to avoid offending the current religious views of his market. The text deals chronologically with each edition of the collection and an appendix contains full transcriptions of all alterations to each story. Irish Literary Studies Series No. 12.

Cover of Ireland and France, a Bountiful Friendship
No one interested in Irish studies during the past 30 years will have missed the work of Patrick Rafroidi. Whether it be romantic poets or the contemporary novel or theatre and drama, he had much to say that was provocative, lively and always readable. His contribution to Irish studies was not only scholarly in the best and most strenuous sense but also generous, lighthearted and enlivening. Because he was such a friend to the Irish, the memory of Patrick Rafroidi well suits the general theme of this book.
