This landmark collection marks the publication of the 100th book in the Reimagining Ireland
series. It attempts to provide a «forward look» (as opposed to what Frank O'Connor once
referred to as the « backward look») at what Irish Studies might look like in the third
millennium. With a Foreword by Declan Kiberd it also contains essays by several other leading
Irish Studies experts on (among other areas) literature and critical theory sport the Irish
language food and beverage studies cinema women's writing Brexit religion Northern
Ireland the legacy of the Great Famine Ireland in the French imagination archival research
musicology and Irish Studies in North America. The book is a tribute to Irish Studies'
foundational commitment to revealing and renewing Irishness within and beyond the national
space.
