Abstract

The present volume, written by a well-known scholar of Irish Studies, Mária Kurdi, is the first book in Hungarian to address this rather timely aspect of Irish-Hungarian and Irish-Central- and Eastern European connections. As the author claims in the “Introduction,” the presence of Central- and Eastern European immigrant characters has become increasingly conspicuous in Irish literary works written during the so-called Celtic Tiger period (1994-2007). Relying on recently published Irish sources, in her discussion of the reasons for this phenomenon the author first explores the dynamics of emigration and immigration in the Irish context.
