From 1940 to 1954, The Bell was notable as an outspoken liberal voice at a time of political and intellectual stagnation. While primarily a literary magazine, it is now mostly discussed in the context of its hard political criticism. Carson has unearthed a wealth of sources to put The Bell in its social as well as literary contexts.
'The book makes excellent use of archival research, including fascinating material quoted from O'Faolains's dealings with the BBC.'
Claire Connolly, Irish Times, May 2016
'The book is a significant contribution that deserves a wide readership.'
Brad Kent, Université Laval, Canadian Journal of Irish Studies, Vol.40
