BOOK REVIEW Language and Tradition in Ireland
Full Title: Language and Tradition in Ireland: Continuities and Displacements
Synopsis: If language and culture are intimately connected, then cultures involving people who speak more than one language must have special characteristics, as well as particular social issues to negotiate. What are the challenges faced by a people with two or more languages as their heritage? How does that multiple heritage affect cultural forms, including literature and the arts?
