'Hear My Song'

Arguing that certain song types constitute forms of collective memory, this book explores Irish theatre from the 1950s and 1960s to show that songs provide valuable insights into changes in the popular consciousness. As well as illuminating the performances and reception of the plays, it also challenges orthodox narratives of de Valera's Ireland.

Argumentand ca anumite tipuri de cantece constituie forme de memorie colectiva, aceasta carte exploreaza teatrul irlandez din anii 1950 si 1960 pentru a arata ca cantecele ofera informatii valoroase asupra schimbarilor din constiinta populara. Pe langa faptul ca lumineaza spectacolele si receptia pieselor, aceasta provoaca si naratiunile ortodoxe ale Irlandei de de Valera.
