Politics and Narrative in Ireland's Decade of Commemorations, Éire-Ireland Special Issue 57 (2022), edited by Sara Dybris McQuaid and Fearghal McGarry

This special issue examines politics and narratives in Ireland's Decade of Commemorations. It uses the term commemorations in order to include events and engagements that do not officially form part of the Decade of Centenaries but, crucially, take place within this context and become part of its critical mass. 


This themed volume provides the first dedicated and comprehensive study of Graeco-Roman influences across Irish visual and material culture from the Middle Ages to today. It features new research that considers an expansive range of material to advance our understanding of the complex interconnections between classical antiquity and Irish visual aesthetics.
