The lived experience and the artistic representation of Irish suburbia have received relatively little scholarly consideration and this multidisciplinary volume redresses this critical deficit. It significantly advances the nascent socio-historical field of Irish suburban studies, while simultaneously disclosing and establishing a history of suburban Irish literary and visual culture. The essays also challenge conventional conceptions of what constitutes the proper domain of Irish writing and art and reveal that, though Irish suburban experience is often conceived of pejoratively by writers and artists, there are also many who register and valorise the imaginative possibilities of Irish suburbia and the meanings of its social and cultural life.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEoghan Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in English at Carlow College, St. Patrick’s, Ireland.
