Ireland’s Gramophones - Material Culture, Memory, and Trauma in Irish Modernism

Ireland's Gramophones examines the perpetual presence of the gramophone in literature of Irish modernism: the same period in which gramophonic technology grew to cultural prominence. The book argues that the gramophone, as object and instrument, embodies accounts of a culture frequently traumatized through violence and disruption.
