Representing Irishness in Words and Images ; Erskine Nicol’s Illustrations of Tales of Irish Life and Character by Amélie Dochy

“…We will show that, due to the random insertion of Nicol’s works in Hall’s book, the reader is assigned the task of associating the short stories and the paintings. We will also dwell on the mechanisms of humour in both the text and the paintings and examine how, by resorting to comedy verging on caricature, Nicol creates characters who were deemed as “typical” by the Victorian public while offering a subjective definition of Irish identity.…”
