Abstract

              The twentieth century witnessed an amazing number of Irish authors who opted for various levels of the stream of consciousness.  This new wave tended to be less concerned with outward reality than with the inner life. It challenged traditional literary devices and formulated distinctive literary techniques. Despite the attractiveness of this wave, academic studies dealing exclusively with this phenomenon in the context of modern Irish literature are still limited. This paper deals with the new wave in Irish literature in using stream of consciousness literary technique and its forms of soliloquy and interior monologue as hybrid forms. However, the new wave in modern Irish literature has contributed significantly to the development of modern poetry, drama and novel in both theory and practice.  The present paper has selected three notable literary figures whose works remain as hallmarks not only in Irish literature, but in the whole world of literature:   William Butler Yeats (1865 – 1939), James Joyce (1882 – 1941) and Samuel Beckett (1906 – 1989).  They have succeeded genuinely in producing a perfect and innovative effect through the use of divergent means made possible by this new wave.
