| Abstract | "Were there flappers in Ireland? Was there really a Cabaret Club in Dublin in 1926? Offering an exploration of modernism's influence on the bohemian and counter-cultural movements in theatre, popular culture and design in the post-independent Irish Free State, Performing Modernity provides a colourful new history that defies standard accounts of an Irish State impoverished and traumatised by war and conflict. Using photographs, theatre and costume designs, letters, newspaper accounts, novels and other historical sources, this book argues that there was also ambition and optimism among the citizens of the new State as they embraced the promise of modernity"-- Provided by publisher. |
