The Emerald Isles: Irelands that never were – eBook

Description

Ireland is a country that is, in many ways, still defined by the British occupation and the nature of its partition and independence and so there is much room to explore how it could have evolved differently in different circumstances.

What would home rule have looked like in practice? What struggles would an Ireland that won independence in the late 18th century have faced? How would Ireland have positioned itself if the Nazis had won the Second World War?

In this collection, thirteen talented writers will show you glimpses of the Irelands that never existed. It includes stories by:
