Tom Herron is Senior Lecturer in English and Irish Literature at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK.

Irish Writing London is, in both of its impressive, high-powered volumes, a tour de force of critical and analytical insight and originality . . . . The reader comes away seeing London from the inside but with different lenses, and so becomes aware of a wholly different vision and understanding of the cityscape. Together, the two volumes of Irish Writing London present an unimpeachable case for being considered the nonpareil of critical intervention on the modern metropolis.
