Présentation de l’éditeur :

In Exiles in a Global City, Clare Carroll explores Irish migrants’ experiences in early modern Rome and interprets representations of their cultural identities in relation to their interaction with world-wide Spanish and Roman institutions. This study focuses on some sources in Roman archives not previously considered by Irish historians. The book examines a wide array of cultural productions—Ó Cianáin’s account of O’Neill’s progress from Ireland to Rome, Luke Wadding’s history of the Franciscan order, the portraits at S. Isidoro, the first printed Irish grammar, the letters of Oliver Plunkett, the records of a hospice for converts, Charles Wogan’s memoir, and reports on the national college—for how they transformed emerging senses of an Irish nation.

Clare Carroll (Professor of Comparative Literature, Queens College and The Graduate Center, CUNY) is the author of Circe’s Cup: Cultural Transformations in Early Modern Ireland (Cork UP, 2001) and editor of Ireland and Postcolonial Theory (Cork, 2003).
