A Modest Proposal in the Context of Swift’s Irish Tracts: A Relevance-Theoretic Study
ISBN: 9781443816625 / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Swift's A Modest Proposal has always aroused the interest not just of literary critics, but also of linguists and pragmatists. Within the latter approaches, the study of irony, and more concretely, the intentions and attitudes that must have guided the production of such an intricate work, have always been paramount. However, it seems that within pragmatics the analysis has been restricted so far to the 1729 work itself. In the present author's view, it is interesting to contextualise this masterpiece of irony and satire within Swift's wider writing on Ireland, an approach that remains to be...

A Nation of Beggars?: Priests, People, and Politics in Famine Ireland, 1846-1852
ISBN: 9780198200505 / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first full account of the role of the Irish Catholic Church in the Great Famine of 1846 and its aftermath. Kerr shows how the Famine and consequent evictions led to rural violence and assassination and how these years also saw an increase in religious tensions as Protestant Evangelicals made an all-out effort to Protestantize Ireland. His incisive analysis charts the souring of relations between church and state and the destruction of Lord John Russell's dream of bringing a golden age to Ireland.

A Land of Liberty?: England 1689-1727
ISBN: 9780198228424 / Twarda / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Glorious Revolution of 1688-9 was a decisive moment in England's history; an invading Dutch army forced James II to flee France, and his son-in-law and daughter, William and Mary, were crowned as joint sovereigns. The wider consequences were no less startling: war in Ireland, union with Scotland, Jacobite intrigue, deep involvement in two major European wars, Britain's emergence as a great power, a 'financial revolution', greater religious toleration, a riven Church, and the rapid growth of parliamentary government.
Such changes were only part of the transformation of English society... The Glorious Revolution of 1688-9 was a decisive moment in England's history; an invading Dutch army forced James II to flee France, and his son-in-la...
