Selected writings of Hady, Moore, Barrie, Gissing, Morris, Shaw, Wells, Galsworthy, Kipling, James, Conrad, Forster, Owen and other lesser authors have been studied in some detail for their numerous, varied connexions with the history of their time. The literary pre-eminence of Yeats and Joyce has also made it important to include Irish affairs up to the time of the 'Troubles' in the early 1920s.". Red Boards.
