Herron Co-Edits Collection of Essays

Dr. Tom Herron’s co-edited collection of essays, John Derricke’s The Image of Irelande: with a Discoverie of Woodkarne: Essays on text and context, was recently published by Manchester University Press.

The work attests to the complexity of English and Irish relations, colonisation, military history, imperial propaganda, poetry, art, printing, and the forging of identity in the early modern British Isles. The original work comprises a lengthy poetic narrative and twelve famous woodcuts of the highest quality produced in sixteenth-century England. They also represent some of the only contemporary views of early modern Ireland on record.
