Title
Language, Monuments, and the Politics of Memory in Quebec and Ireland
Abstract
The author examines two sites - the 1909 Celtic cross at Grosse Île, Quebec, and the 1903 Miss Erin monument at Kilrush, County Clare - to highlight ways in which texts at those sites were attempts to fix collective memory, but over the twentieth century have become a kind of fragmented conversation about language, famine, nationalism, and identity.
