ISBN: 9780521026611 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780521037051 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Irish experience of the Great War, and its commemoration, is the setting for Nuala Johnson's pioneering examination of "the landscape of the national imaginery." Her study represents a major contribution to cultural geography and to the historiography of remembrance. The book combines theoretical perspectives with original primary research revealing how memory literally occurred in post-1918 Ireland, and the various conflicts and struggles that were both cause and effect of the process.

ISBN: 9780521466837 / Angielski / Miękka / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book analyzes County Mayo in Ireland from the Elizabethan pacification of the county to the first stage of the Land War of the late nineteenth century.

Women and Philanthropy in Nineteenth-Century Ireland
ISBN: 9780521474337 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the involvement of women in charity work in nineteenth-century Ireland. The author claims that sectarianism dominated women's philanthropic activity, and analyzes the work of women in areas of moral reform, such as prostitution and prison work. The book concludes that the most progressive developments in the care of the poor were brought about by nonconformist women who were later to become pioneers in the cause of suffrage.

The Great Irish Famine
ISBN: 9780521557870 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Irish Famine of 1846-50 was one of the great disasters of the nineteenth century. Cormac O Grada's concise survey puts the Famine in the context of the Irish economy, assesses the Famine itself, and discusses its many consequences. Despite a devastating food shortage, the huge death toll of one million was hardly inevitable; a less doctrinaire attitude to famine relief could perhaps have saved many lives. This book provides an up-to-date introduction to an event of major importance in the history of nineteenth-century Ireland and Britain.

The Reconstruction of the Church of Ireland
ISBN: 9780521643184 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thomas Wentworth landed in Ireland in 1633 - almost 100 years after Henry VIII had begun his break with Rome. The majority of the people were still Catholic. William Laud had just been elevated to Canterbury. A Yorkshire cleric, John Bramhall, followed the new viceroy and became, in less than one year, Bishop of Derry. This 2007 study, which is centred on Bramhall, examines how these three men embarked on a policy for the established Church which represented not only a break with a century of reforming tradition but which also sought to make the tiny Irish Church a model for the other Stuart...

A History of Women in Ireland, 1500-1800
ISBN: 9780582404298 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first general survey of the history of women in early modern Ireland. Based on an impressive range of source material, it presents the results of original research into women's lives and experiences in Ireland from 1500 to 1800. This was a time of considerable change in Ireland as English colonisation, religious reform and urbanisation transformed society on the island. Gaelic social order based on dynastic lordships and Brehon Law gave way to an anglicised and centralised form of government and an English legal system. Colonisation brought English and Scottish settlers to Ireland...

Roger Casement: A Biography
ISBN: 9780595447954 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A biography extending from Casement's Irish origins to his work in Africa and South America as British consul. Casement's official reports on the atrocities committed against the rubber gatherers brought him fame and led to reform of the rubber trade in the Congo and the Putumayo. His involvement in the recruitment of Irish prisoners of war to fight against the British during the Great War caused him to be tried for treason and hanged in what is perhaps one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British history, brought about in part by the leaking of passages from his shockingly...

English Atlantic in an Age of Revolution, 1640-1661
ISBN: 9780674024120 / Angielski / Miękka / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1640 and 1660, England, Scotland, and Ireland faced civil war, invasion, religious radicalism, parliamentary rule, and the restoration of the monarchy. Carla Gardina Pestana offers a sweeping history that systematically connects these cataclysmic events and the development of the infant plantations from Newfoundland to Surinam. By 1660, the English Atlantic emerged as religiously polarized, economically interconnected, socially exploitative, and ideologically anxious about its liberties. War increased both the proportion of unfree laborers and ethnic diversity in the...
