In the concluding essay in Liam Harte's Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Fiction, Eve Patten stakes a claim for the Irish novelist placed firmly at the political and cultural vanguard of the changing nation . Given the profound transformations of Irish culture and society over the past few decades, it is a brave claim. And yet, it is more than substantiated by the thirty-five essays that make up this invigorating collection, which brings together many of the leading scholars in the field to chart the continuing importance of Irish fiction, nationally and internationally. * Christopher Morash, Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing, Trinity College Dublin *
