Books by Yvonne Whelan

Explores the overlapping and often complex relationships between identity, memory, heritage and the cultural landscape. This book provides an overview of different approaches in the study of these relationships, combined with evidence from Ireland, England, Scotland and the United States.

This study of urban and cultural geography shows how Dublin's iconography evolved before and after the creation of the Irish Free State. Yvonne Whelan argues that a shift has taken place from an intensely political iconography to one that is increasingly apolitical.
