This monograph fills a large gap in the literary and cultural history of the Irish diaspora - The Argentine Republic in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since 2000 there has been a growing research interest in the Irish in Latin America and the Caribbean. This work is the only modern research by a skilled scholar on the topic of the literature of the Irish Argentine. The work has ground breaking material on specific authors, their economic and their demographic milieu as well as assessments on Irish allied cultural activities (journalism, politics and music).
