Title: Reading Irish histories
Description: "This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines how a variety of Irish historical narratives were delivered through the written word, with attention paid to both the media and the message, as well as to how readers might have reacted to these texts. The collection supplements the research of Irish Studies scholars engaged in such new fields of inquiry as the manufacturing and persistence of historical memory and the history of the book, and the contributors also present new information to the more traditional fields of literary biography and political and social history."--BOOK JACKET.
