Description

This collection considers Irish monuments from the medieval to the modern era.

The essays presented here acknowledge the plurality of values associated with Irish monuments.

Taking a holistic approach to the topic, the volume contains contributions from art historians, archaeologists, historians and heritage practitioners.

The multidisciplinary and intersectoral contributions are placed in dialogue with one another, providing a discussion of Irish monuments that is unique in its comprehensiveness.

The integration of research on early Irish monumental work with that of the more modern period, situating all Irish monuments on a continuum of shared concerns, is a significant pioneering element in this field.

The range of perspectives represented in the book reflects the complexity of cultural heritage in contemporary life and opens the conversation to include a wider range of views.

It will be a valuable resource for scholars, students, learned societies, public bodies, communities in Ireland and for anyone interested in sculpture. An Open Access version of Kathleen James-Chakraborty's chapter 'New states and old statues: Ireland's monuments in an international context' will be made available on publication.
