Multi-disciplinary in concept and content, it is an important ccrntribution to scholarship and the methods of scholarship, and a practical handbook for the student, teacher, librarian, researcher and serious reader.
It consists of three main divisions, each directing the reader to the key reference works in its area.

Part III deals with the sources for Anglo-Irish literature itself, covering poetry, fiction and drama, as well as bibliographies of individual authors, and a listing of Irish literary periodicals.
The book includes literary maps, brief introductions, notes on the sources and a chronology of literary and historic events. The running heads on each page provide the controls necessary for the reader to locate sources within each section.
