BOOK REVIEW: “STUDI IRLANDESI. A JOURNAL OF IRISH STUDIES”, GENERAL EDITOR FIORENZO FANTACCINI, JOURNAL MANAGER ARIANNA ANTONIELLI, FIRENZE UNIVERSITY PRESS 2017, 421 P

In the ever-growing tension of our current social-political climate, the 2017 edition of the University of Florence’s anthology of Irish Studies stands out as a must-read. This issue’s editor, Dieter Reinisch, masterfully showcases a series of informative and inspiring pieces, the main corpus of which are research papers united under the theme of Resistance in Modern Ireland, with the added coloratura of interviews, literary contributions and reviews. To dive into the complex processes that led to the formation of the Irish status quo is by no means a negligible endeavour.
