Abstract
⺠Uses the concept of imaginative geographies to explore the problematic nature of Anglo-Irish identity in post-independence Ireland. ⺠Examines how the geographies represented in Elizabeth Bowen's Novel, The Last September reveal the varied affiliations of Anglo-Irish community in the 1920s. ⺠Demonstrates the potential of imaginative geographies as a tool to interrogate the insider/outsider identities of former colonial communities. ⺠Outlines how imaginative geographies can contribute to more pluralist and inclusive histories of formerly colonised territories.
