About this title

Review:

... edgy, lucid articles ... -- Irish Times, May 28, 2005

At first sight, the production values of the Field Day Review take one's breath away. -- Irish Times, May 28, 2005

Now Field Day's "interventions" into the partitioned history of the island have taken yet another form, a scholarly annual. -- Irish Times, May 28, 2005

The review articles are magisterial in their sweep and authority. -- Irish Independent, 11 June 2005

The scoop is an interview with Brendan Behan. -- Times Literary Supplement, April 22, 2005

This is in every sense a handsome contribution to the canon of critical writing on Irish history and lietrature. -- Irish Independent, 11 June 2005
