This project aims to investigate how visual representations of Hibernia, the female personification of Ireland, historically transcended political, sectarian, cultural, and religious boundaries in Ireland and thereby reveal the historic diversity of Irish identities, as well as their complex relations with Britain and Europe. Focusing on the period from c.1770 to c.1930, Visualising Hibernia will produce the first dedicated study of this highly significant but neglected figure in Irish cultural history and Anglo-Irish political relations. |
