Description
Book SynopsisAddresses questions of Irish memory and cultural remembrance through theoretical, historical, literary, and cultural explorations by top scholars in the field of Irish studies. In a series that will ultimately include four volumes, the sixteen essays in this first volume explore remembrance and forgetting throughout history, from early modern Ireland to contemporary multicultural Ireland.
Trade ReviewThis first of four volumes explores the replacement of chronological historiography with a more fluid, less rigid approach that investigates what is remembered from the Irish past.
Memory Ireland inaugurates a careful investigation of ‘the conception of Irish cultural memory’ through the multiple lenses provided by disparate fields: literature most prominently, but also religion, sociology, political science, and archaeology. This is a series that will help to set the research agenda for the study of memory in Irish history and society in the years to come.
