Yvonne Whelan takes the reader from the contested iconography of
Dublin as it evolved in the years before Independence through to
the contemporary plans for the millennium spire on O'Connell
Street, showing how a shift has taken place from an intensely
political symbolic landscape to one that is increasingly
apolitical, in tune with the changing nature of Irish politics,
culture and society at the turn of the 21st century. In her
comprehensive discussion of how the streetscape has changed, Whelan
explores the capacity of the cultural landscape to underpin and
reinforce particular narratives of identity and reveals the ways in
which issues of street naming, building, designing and
memorializing became firmly grounded in space and bound up with the
politics of representation. Incorporating many pictures, maps and
plans, "Reinventing Modern Dublin" is a work of historical,
cultural and urban geography, a valuable addition to the growing
body of knowledge about Dublin's historical geography and Irish
urbanism.
