The short stories of William Carleton and the novels and poetry of Patrick Kavanagh are examined for the light they throw on the personality of the south Ulster landscape. Carleton wrote about the region in the prefamine decades; Kavanagh for the years before the second world war. Both writers, therefore, were witness to changes in society and landscape in one of the most formative periods in the making of modem Ireland. Irish geographers might profitably focus their attention on analyses of the sense of place and regional literature in Ireland.Downloads
