Short Stories
Offers a critical approach to fiction based on the principle that every story is written out of an emotional impulse, or a series of emotional impulses, whose satisfactions may be equated with pleasure that we read every story to share in these emotional satisfactions which are the author's gift to us; and that it is no more than common sense that we should therefore assess the quality of every story we read by studying the nature and quality of these pleasures which we are invited to enjoy.
The Heat of the Sun

"A stimulating exploration of the achievement of a major contemporary writer." -- Back cover.
Joyce's Politics
The object of this study, first published in 1980, is to dispel the view that James Joyce had no political views. Although not a political novelist like D. H. Lawrence or Joseph Conrad, political issues and discussions are central to Joyce’s major novels. This title links that political content with Joyce’s own views, and examines the evolution of those views and attitudes. A number of unusual and fascinating sources for Joyce’s thought are uncovered. Joyce’s Politics is thus a thorough review of a neglected aspect of Joyce and his writings, and will be of interest to students of literature.
Sean O'Faolain
Sean O'Faolain was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Irish culture. A short-story writer of international repute, he was also a leading commentator and critic, and was editor of the landmark journal The Bell. O'Faolain's work was central to the evolution of post-independence Irish writing, and his voice was one of the most prominent, and eloquent, in the fight against censorship in Ireland. This book presents an innovative re-reading and vibrant study of O'Faolain's diversity and influence, engaging with his non-fiction, as well as his novels and short stories. From the conflicting biographies of Eamon de Valera to the controversies and debates of the 1940s, the importance of Sean O'Faolain's legacy and relevance to modern readers is teased out in accessible and original insights.
