In 1613, the small settlement of Belfast, with a population of about 1,000, was granted its Royal Charter as a borough. Three hundred years later, Belfast emerged as a city of international importance. With one of the world's largest ports, it enjoyed a brief spell as Ireland's largest urban center and was a major player in the British industrial scene. Unique in being an Irish city with a self-consciously British identity, the city reveled in, and in many ways depended upon, its central role within the British Empire. This book celebrates and explores an exciting period in the city's histo

Ciaran Carson is one of the most challenging and inventive of contemporary Irish writers, exhibiting verbal brilliance, formal complexity, and intellectual daring across a remarkably varied body of work. This study considers the full range of his oeuvre, in poetry, prose, and translations, and discusses the major themes to which he returns, including: memory and history, narrative, language and translation, mapping, violence, and power. It argues that the singularity of Carson’s writing is to be found in his radical imaginative engagements with ideas of space and place. The city of Belfast, in particular, occupies a crucially important place in his texts, serving as an imaginative focal point around which his many other concerns are constellated. The city, in all its volatile mutability, is an abiding frame of reference and a reservoir of creative impetus for Carson’s imagination. Accordingly, the book adopts an interdisciplinary approach that draws upon geography, urbanism, and cultural theory as well as literary criticism. It provides both a stimulating and thorough introduction to Carson’s work, and a flexible critical framework for exploring literary representations of space.
