Omschrijving

GeoHibernica: The Irish Landscapes, Peoples, and Cultures explores the profound relationship between Ireland's diverse geological foundations and the societies that have shaped--and been shaped by--its landscape over millennia. From the first settlers who arrived around 10,000 years ago to the present day, Ireland's varied bedrock, revealed as the Ice Age retreated, has provided both the physical and cultural framework for human habitation. As the population expanded from the Neolithic through the Bronze and Iron Ages, the transition from hunter-gatherer communities to agricultural societies reshaped both the land and its people. The clearance of ancient forests and the growth of vast peat bogs brought about cultural transformations whose echoes remain visible today.

This book examines how Ireland's landscape has inspired both practical and artistic responses--from megalithic tombs and high crosses to the vernacular architecture that reflects deep connections to place. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists like Paul Henry helped define an enduring vision of Ireland, while naturalists such as Robert Lloyd Praeger and cultural geographers like Estyn Evans deepened our understanding of how land, heritage, and history intertwine.

At once scholarly and personal, GeoHibernica offers a holistic exploration of how Ireland's physical landscape has continuously shaped its cultural identity across the ages.
