Riassunto

Ireland Beyond Boundaries provids an authoritative, up-to-date account of the development of Irish Studies over the past two decades. The fourteen contributors examine some of the key debates that have underpinned recent scholarship, analyzing the subject's remarkable growth.

The book is divided into two parts. Park One traces the institutional fortunes of Irish Studies in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Britain. Part Two features in-depth critical accounts of specific trends and themes within Irish historiography, literary criticism, religion, migration, music, cultural geography, sports, and media culture. Throughout the collection there is a recurring engagement with the role of interdisciplinary approaches within Irish Studies and its impact on teaching and research. Combining synoptic overviews with informed analyses, this is an essential text for all those working in the field.
