About this book

Looking at representations of the Irish landscape in contemporary literature and the arts, this volume discusses the economic, political and environmental issues associated with it, questioning the myths behind Ireland's landscape, from the first Greek descriptions to present day post Celtic-Tiger architecture.

Reviews

'This is an engaging and tightly conceived collection of essays which will open up new ground and forge fresh connections in the best sense of interdisciplinary scholarship.'
