This book examines Italian descriptions of Ireland in the context of the Renaissance discovery of ancient culture and reshaping of geography, historiography, travel writing and the fashioning of the self and the other, arguing that Italians of the time imagined Ireland differently in different circumstances, populating it with their own fantasies.
