Abstract

The book "Science, Technology, and Irish Modernism" challenges the misconception that Irish writers, such as W.B. Yeats, had little interest in science and technology. The editors explore the relationship between Irish modernism and emerging sciences and technologies in the early twentieth century. The book examines how Irish Revivalists aimed to reconcile religious and scientific experiences, the impact of everyday life and media technologies during the 1916 Easter Rising, the influence of technological concepts on James Joyce, the intersection of medicine and literature in Joyce's "Ulysses," and the incorporation of new physics by Yeats, Beckett, and John Banville. The book highlights the intellectual richness of Irish modernist thought and encourages interdisciplinary studies. [Extracted from the article]
