’Getting the Words Right’: A Festschrift＂ in Honour of Eamon Maher

This book is a collection of essays written in honour of Eamon Maher. The essays all speak to issues which Eamon has worked on, so there are pieces focusing largely on the connections between Ireland and France across a range of political, cultural, historical, literary, theoretical, religious and linguistic influences. There are also essays on John McGahern, George Moore, regionalism and translation. The essays are all written by colleagues who are at the top of their fields and who are very widely published.
