Nuala C. Johnson explores the complex relationship between social
memory and space in the representation of war in Ireland. The Irish
experience of the Great War, and its commemoration, is the location
of Dr Johnson's sustained and pioneering examination of the
development of memorial landscapes, and her study represents a
major contribution both to cultural geography and to the
historiography of remembrance. Attractively illustrated, this book
combines theoretical perspectives with original primary research
showing how memory literally took place in post-1918 Ireland, and
the various conflicts and struggles that were both a cause and
effect of this process. Of interest to scholars in a number of
disciplines, Ireland, The Great War and The Geography of
Remembrance shows powerfully how Irish efforts to collectively
remember the Great War were constantly in dialogue with issues
surrounding the national question, and the memorials themselves
bore witness to these tensions and ambiguities.
