This Companion provides an authoritative introduction to the
historical, social and stylistic complexities of modern Irish
culture. Readers will be introduced to Irish culture in its widest
sense and helped to find their way through the cultural and
theoretical debates that inform our understanding of modern
Ireland. The volume combines cultural breadth and historical depth,
supported by a chronology of Irish history and arts. A wide
selection of essays on a rich variety of Irish cultural forms and
practices are complemented by a series of in-depth analyses of key
themes in Irish cultural politics. The range of topics covered will
enable a comprehensive understanding of Irish culture, while the
authors gathered here - all acknowledged experts in their fields -
provide stimulating essays that together amount to an invaluable
guide to the shaping of modern Ireland.
