--Jed Esty, University of Pennsylvania
"Ireland and the Problem of Information boldly reconstellates late modernism, wartime propaganda, radio and sound recording, and post-independence Irish culture. Damien Keane clears the period of received narratives about modernist formal innovation and the auratic voice. In their place he sets up a cultural field in which social knowledge is produced--and, increasingly, knows itself to be produced--through dispersed, often agonistic processes of mediation. Far from being a belated entrant into this moment, the Irish cultural field emerges here as its advance guard, 'an early indicator of the antagonistic cooperation that has since come more generally to structure the cultural field of the "information age."' This is a rigorously researched book, reflecting Keane's deep fascination with his subject."
--Paul Saint-Amour, University of Pennsylvania
"Theoretically sophisticated, solidly grounded in archival work, and entertainingly cantankerous, Damien Keane's Ireland and the Problem of Information serves as both an important intervention in Irish studies and the next necessary step in the recasting of modernist studies through the lens of media."
--Debra Rae Cohen, University of South Carolina
"Each chapter of Ireland and the Problem of Information is meticulously researched. Every page is written with brio and wry humor. This book extends the boundaries of current studies in Irish literature by locating texts within a transnational, acoustic, and enhanced field of cultural production."
--Allan Hepburn, Breac Review
"Damien Keane's beautifully crafted Ireland and the Problem of Information captures some of the staticky buzz of transnational intersecting writings and radio transmissions in the mid-twentieth century. He traces, often brilliantly, how events and situations change their meanings as they cross borders, complicating our understanding of the causality of transference of information."
--Susan Mooney, James Joyce Quarterly
