URBAN AND RURAL LANDSCAPES IN MODERN IRELAND KA...

The central theme of landscape has long been associated with the construction and expression of
Irish national identity  particularly in relation to rural Ireland  which traditionally has
been regarded as an important source of national heritage and culture. Associated with this
preoccupation is the rural urban divide that has characterised traditional representations of
Ireland  especially since the end of the nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw dramatic
changes to both rural and urban Ireland. The Celtic Tiger economy and the post-Tiger context
have also seen momentous transformations in the Irish landscape. This book analyses the
relationship between the rural and the urban and explores the way it is reflected in Irish
literature  culture and language from the turn of the twentieth century to the present day.
Among others  the work of John Hewitt  Liam O'Flaherty  Moya Cannon  Paula Meehan  Thomas
Kinsella and Eavan Boland is analysed  through a variety of perspectives including cultural
studies  linguistics  literary studies and ecocriticism.
