This book discusses key works by important writers from Church of Ireland backgrounds (from Farquhar and Swift to Beckett and Bardwell), in order to demonstrate that writers from this Irish subculture have a unique socio-political viewpoint which is imperfectly understood. The Anglican Ascendancy was historically referred to as a middle nation between Ireland and Britain, and this book is an examination of the various ways in which Irish Anglican writers have signalled their Irish/British hybridity. British elements in their work are pointed out, but so are manifestations of their proud Irishness and what Elizabeth Bowen called her community's subtle ... anti-Englishness. Crucially, this book discusses several writers often excluded from the truly Irish canon, including (among others) Laurence Sterne, Elizabeth Griffith, and C.S. Lewis.
