This title was first published in 2003. The essay collection explores the conjunctions of nation, gender, and visual representation in a number of countries-including Ireland, Scotland, Britain, Canada, Finland, Russia and Germany-during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The contributors show visual imagery to be a particularly productive focus for analysing the intersections of nation and gender, since the nation and nationalism, as abstract concepts, have to be "embodied" in ways that make them imaginable, especially through the means of art. They explore how allegorical female figures personify the nation across a wide range of visual media, from sculpture to political cartoons and how national architectures may also be gendered. They show how through such representations, art reveals the ethno-cultural bases of nationalisms. Through the study of such images, the essays in this volume cast new light on the significance of gender in the construction of nationalist ideology and the constitution of the nation-state. In tackling the conjunctions of nation, gender and visual representation, the case studies presented in this publication can be seen to provide exciting new perspectives on the study of nations, of gender and the history of art. The range of countries chosen and the variety of images scrutinised create a broad arena for further debate.

Until recently little attention was paid to the role of art in constructing the “story” of theIrish nation. This wide-ranging study of Irish pictures and sculpture opens up the subject byproviding a fresh interdisciplinary approach. Each work is analyzed beyond its strictly arthistorical relevance. A deeper investigation into the context in which a work was producedreveals much about the aspirations and ideological ambitions of artists, those commissioningworks, and the viewing public. The study of such diverse topics as the representation of theIrish peasant, the behind-the-scenes tensions in setting up a national gallery for Ireland, theerecting of political monuments, Church art, West of Ireland landscape painting, and the differencein nationalistic fervor among artists as diverse as Albert G. Power and Jack B. Yeats unveilfascinating testimony about Ireland’s collective national “needs” and its constructs of identity.
