Dr Claire Nally's main research focus is located in twentieth-century English and Irish Literature, and she published several articles and two book-length studies in this area. Her monograph, 'Envisioning Ireland: W.B. Yeats Occult Nationalism' was published in 2009. She has also co-written a book with Professor John Strachan entitled 'Selling Ireland: Advertising, Literature and Irish Print Culture, 1891-1922' (Palgrave, 2012).
