Looking for Irish literature online? Staff and faculty, as well as students, may access ebooks at the Hesburgh Libraries. <\/a><\/p>\n

It is relatively easy to find online works of literary criticism in the library catalog, but not so easy to find ebooks of fiction and poetry. So I’ve listed some books below.<\/p>\n

Note also that if you are a resident of St. Joseph County, you may have access to novels and audio-books in the digital collection of St. Joseph County Public Library.\u00a0 If you never got around to registering for public library membership, check their website to see how you can register online:<\/a><\/p>\n

In checking our online Irish literature, I noted that the poetry collections online in the Proquest\/Literature Online collection are good for reference but not enjoyable for reading, so I did not list them. Similarly, many plays by Irish writers are included in the Drama Online database, but I had repeated problems accessing the database and so I’d rather leave them until another time.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
