Living on an island at the edge of the known world, the medieval
Irish were in a unique position to examine the spaces of the North
Atlantic region and contemplate how geography can shape a people.
This book is the first full-length study of medieval Irish
topographical writing. It situates the theories and poetics of
Irish place - developed over six centuries in response to a variety
of political, cultural, religious and economic changes - in the
bigger theoretical picture of studies of space, landscape,
environmental writing and postcolonial identity construction.
Presenting focused studies of important literary texts by authors
from Ireland and Britain, it shows how these discourses influenced
European conceptions of place and identity, as well as
understandings of how to write the world. -- .
