Dialogues in the Margin

the long version

"For decades, commentators on nineteenth-century Irish literature or history have routinely mentioned the significance of the Dublin University Magazine. Published monthly from January 1833 to December 1877, the DUM attracted as its contributors - and in several cases its editors - nearly every major Irish writer from this period. Prior to Wayne E. Hall's Dialogues in the Margin, however, there has been no systematic, book-length discussion of the magazine's entire career.". "In his study, Hall traces the dual nature of the magazine, its attention to both England and Ireland, which helps us to understand the sometimes guilty and reluctant, sometimes celebratory and passionate, union of these different cultural traditions and values."--BOOK JACKET.
