Land and Landscape in Nineteenth-Century Ireland

Glenn Hooper & Úna Ní Bhroiméil, editors

Reviews

'Contributors from the fields of literature, history, archaeology and art history give different perspectives on how the land and landscape of Ireland was perceived during the tumultuous nineteenth century. The editors Ní Bhroiméil and Hooper tie the disparate essays together with the belief that topography is both imagined and interpreted by all who interact with it. Therefore, the views of fiction authors are as valid as those of historians', Book News (August 2008).

‘… provide[s] an excellent overview of the range of different approaches to the study of nineteenth-century land and landscape in Ireland … [A]ll the essays in this volume are valuable and stimulating contributions to the study of land and landscape in Ireland. This book has much to offer Irish geographers, from those examining popular attempts at landscape appropriation to those interested in imagined geographies of the Irish landscape. Through an examination of the representations of the Irish landscape textually and the use of the Irish landscape actually in the nineteenth century this volume provides an excellent account of the colonisation of the Irish landscape by a range of different actors with widely differing political and social agendas’, Arlene Crampsie, Irish Geography (Vol. 41, No. 3).
