does not offer a real Ireland to replace the fake one generated by the
tourist industry; rather it inhabits the realm of the fake real, the
arena of what the cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard calls 'simulations'.."

concept of the nation plays across discourses of authenticity, fiction
and fantasy in a fascinating range of material. Successive chapters
examine the utopian musings of Ignatius Donnelly, John Mitchel and Seán
Hillen..."
