| Résumé : | Archives play an important role in preserving literary history, but they also have the potential to change that history, by making the papers of Irish writers, editors, and publishers available, as well as by documenting larger literary and social moments. By facilitating the preservation and arrangement of these materials, archivists support new ways of interpreting and communicating historical and artistic processes to a wide audience. Archives are themselves interesting subjects of study, helping us to understand how national traditionsand intellectual priorities evolve. This essay explores the value of Irish literary archives to the contemporary scholar, and considers some ofthe factors that shape a writer’s legacy. |
