The Novels of Liam O'Flaherty: A Study in Romantic RealismThis study of Liam O'Flaherty's novels seeks to relate the novels to a way of life that is now almost defunct. . .O'Flaherty inherited a tradition that reached deep into the gaelic way of life, its folklore, myths, legends and superstitions. In his novels, he transmits a sense of the life there which is unmatched as an imaginative portrayal of the contradictions and disharmonies that have both enriched and impoverished our culture and society. / |
