Spiritual wounds : trauma, testimony and the Irish Civil War

Aiken, Síobhra2022
Books, Manuscripts
This text challenges the widespread scholarly and popular belief that the Irish Civil War (1922-1923) was followed by a 'traumatic silence'. It achieves this by opening an alternative archive of published testimonies which were largely recorded in the 1920s and 1930s.
