Nietzsche and Irish Modernism deftly traces the circulation of the German philosopher’s ideas in Irish culture during the early years of the twentieth century. In doing so, the book demonstrates how Nietzsche’s thought inspired new, disruptive modes of writing, which spoke to local historical circumstances and the predicaments of modernity at large
