From the first book printed in Ireland in the sixteenth century, to
the globalised digital media culture of today, Christopher Morash
traces the history of forms of communication in Ireland over the
past four centuries: the vigorous newspaper and pamphlet culture of
the eighteenth century, the spread of popular literacy in the
nineteenth century, and the impact of the telegraph, telephone,
phonograph, cinema and radio, which arrived in Ireland just as the
Irish Free State came into being. Morash picks out specific events
for detailed analysis, such as the first radio broadcast, during
the 1916 Rising, or the Live Aid concert in 1985. This 2009 book
breaks ground within Irish studies. Its accessible narrative
explains how Ireland developed into the modern, globally
interconnected, economy of today. This is an essential and hugely
informative read for anyone interested in Irish cultural history.
