Descriptive catalogue of a Grolier Club exhibition held held May 15 - July 27, 2002, illustrating Irish poetry, drama, and the novel. Organized decade by decade, it documents the careers of outstanding authors through books, manuscripts, letters, photographs, broadsides, and art. The catalogue opens with Samuel Beckett's manuscript notebook for Waiting for Godot and proceeds up to the present with drafts of Michael Longley's The Weather in Japan (winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize for Po-etry 2000). Other items show the development of Seamus Heaney's career, including exemplary manuscripts and the poet's Nobel Prize medal. A sequel to The Grolier Club's 1962 show, The Indomitable Irishry, this exhibition drew on the extensive Irish literary collections of the Robert W. Woodruff Library of Emory University, as well as other institutional and private collections. Designed by Jerry Kelly, and printed in an edition of 500 copies.
