John Derricke's Image of Irelande, with a Discoverie of Woodkarne
is a key work of English print-making, Irish and English history
and cultural misunderstanding. The work attests to the complexity
of English and Irish relations, colonisation, military history,
imperial propaganda, poetry, art, printing and the forging of
identity in the early modern British Isles. The original work
comprises of a lengthy poetic narrative and twelve famous woodcuts
of the highest quality produced in sixteenth-century England. They
also represent some of the only contemporary views of early modern
Ireland on record. The sixteen interdisciplinary essays in this
collection focus on the text's political and historical meaning,
print history, iconographic elements, paratexts, literary and
artistic influences, and cultural archaeology. The collection will
appeal to scholars of many disciplines. -- .
