Since W.B. Yeats wrote that "the man of science is too often a person who has exchanged his soul for a formula", the anti-scientific bent of Irish literature has been taken as a given. This book brings together scholars to challenge the stereotype that Irish literature has been unconcerned with scientific and technological change.
