Accessibly written and accompanied by a wealth of images, Photography and Ireland moves beyond cliched images to address the political upheavals, social transformation and geographical re-imaginings of Ireland as a colony, a nation, a province and a sovereign state.

Drawing together established and emerging scholars from across the arts, humanities and social sciences, this book examines the relationship of Dublin to Ireland's social history through the city's visual culture, including case studies of Dublin's streetscapes, architecture and sculpture, and its depiction in literature, photography and cinema.
