Anotace knihy

Looking at representations of the Irish landscape in contemporary literature and the arts, this volume discusses the economic, political and environmental issues associated with it. Questioning the myths behind Ireland's landscape from the first Greek descriptions to present day post Celtic-Tiger architecture, the contributors explore its artistic representations (fictional and visual), arguing that the experience of humans with place is preserved in landscape, history and myth. The book further argues that contemporary landscape practices, from landscape planning to landscape designing, are imbued with myth. Just as the myth of loss is at the root of many cultural, political and economical statements, the myth of unity, belonging, globalization and its twin, the myth of speed, have in turn contributed to creating new landscapes and new ruins.
