'Hear My Song': Irish Theatre and Popular Song in the 1950s and 1960s

By Joseph Greenwood

Arguing that certain song types constitute forms of collective memory, this book explores Irish theatre from the 1950s and 1960s to show that songs provide valuable insights into changes in the popular consciousness. As well as illuminating the performances and reception of the plays, it also challenges orthodox narratives of de Valera's Ireland.
