Reviews

Colleen Taylor's book is a highly readable and original additionboth to the schools of thought connected to new materialism and postcolonial studies, but also to the ongoing inquiry into the com-plicated history of Anglo-Irish relations. Combining ideas about Ireland with Irish matter works extremely well, and it is one of the achievements of this book that it offers such challenging perspectives on common objects, on matter that mattered to the vast majority of Irish people, rather than the privileged objects of the wealthy that have dominated colonial archives so far. * Cyprian Piskurek, Journal for the Study of British Cultures *
