Book Synopsis
Centuries before W. B. Yeats wove Indian, Japanese, and Irish forms together in his poetry and plays, Irish writers found kinships in Asian and West Asian cultures. This book maps the unacknowledged discourse of Irish Orientalism within Ireland's complex colonial heritage.Review Quotes

Original, provocative, and compelling. Its central thesis--that a tradition of Irish contact. . . . existed with Asia and North . . . is startling.-- "New Hibernia Review"
The author's exhaustive research is evident and his manner of presentation . . . engages the reader.-- "Choice"
