<i>Dublin: Renaissance city of literature</i> interrogates the notion of a literary 'renaissance' in Dublin, arguing that the literary and cultural pursuits related to 'renaissance' were developing from late medieval Ireland. Through detailed case studies of print and literature in Renaissance Dublin, the volume covers innovative new ground, providing quantitative analysis of print production in Ireland, unique insight into the city's literary communities and considerations of literary genres that flourished there. The chapters address a wider range of topics than much of the existing scholarly literature - English and European influences, the construction of Dublin literary identities, reading habits in early modern Dublin and non-Anglophone contexts. Renaissance Dublin was marked by people, places and discourses that emerged and re-emerged with unexpected frequency, resulting in the cohesive view of the re-birth of literary activity in Dublin that is captured in this volume. Beginning its investigation in the fifteenth century, the volume maps the development of this 'renaissance' from an earlier period than much of the existing scholarship. Featuring contributions from leading scholars in the area of early modern Ireland, including Raymond Gillespie, Alexander S. Wilkinson, Marie-Louise Coolahan and Andrew Hadfield, students and academics will find this text an invaluable resource for fully appreciating those elements that contributed to the complex literary character of Dublin as a Renaissance city of literature.

This book will be essential reading for Scholars and students of early modern Irish history and literature
