The year 1916 witnessed two events that would profoundly shape both
politics and commemoration in Ireland over the course of the
following century. Although the Easter Rising and the Battle of the
Somme were important historical events in their own right, their
significance also lay in how they came to be understood as iconic
moments in the emergence of Northern Ireland and the Irish
Republic. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach drawing on
history, politics, anthropology and cultural studies, this volume
explores how the memory of these two foundational events has been
constructed, mythologised and revised over the course of the past
century. The aim is not merely to understand how the Rising and the
Somme came to exert a central place in how the past is viewed in
Ireland, but to explore wider questions about the relationship
between history, commemoration and memory.
