The Irish Story : Telling Tales and Making It Up in Ireland
ISBN: 9780195168877 / Angielski / Miękka / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Roy Foster is one of the leaders of the iconoclastic generation of Irish historians. In this opinionated, entertaining book he examines how the Irish have written, understood, used, and misused their history over the past century.
Foster argues that, over the centuries, Irish experience itself has been turned into story. He examines how and why the key moments of Ireland's past--the 1798 Rising, the Famine, the Celtic Revival, Easter 1916, the Troubles--have been worked into narratives, drawing on Ireland's powerful oral culture, on elements of myth, folklore, ghost stories and romance....

Do Penance or Perish : Magdalen Asylums in Ireland
ISBN: 9780195174601 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Frances Finnegan traces the development of Ireland's Magdalen Asylums--homes that were founded in the mid-nineteenth century for the detention of prostitutes undergoing reform. The inmates of these asylums were discouraged-and many forcibly prevented-from leaving and sometimes were detained for life. Put to work without pay in adjoining laundries, these women were subject to penance, harsh discipline, enforced silence, and prayer. Their hair was cropped, and they were made to wear drab and shapeless clothing. Forbidden to mention their past lives, their children taken away, the inmates...

Armed Struggle: The History of the IRA
ISBN: 9780195177534 / Angielski / Miękka / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The IRA has been a much richer, more complexly layered, and more protean organization than is frequently recognized. It is also more open to balanced examination now--at the end of its long war in the north of Ireland--than it was even a few years ago.
Richard English's brilliant book offers a detailed history of the IRA, providing invaluable historical depth to our understanding of the modern-day Provisionals, the more militant wing formed in 1969 dedicated to the removal of the British Government from Northern Ireland and the reunification of Ireland. English examines the dramatic... The IRA has been a much richer, more complexly layered, and more protean organization than is frequently recognized. It is also more open to balanced ...

Nationalist Revolutionaries in Ireland 1858-1928
ISBN: 9780198201342 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on the nationalist revolutionaries of Ireland between 1858 and 1928, this study examines the origins of the present-day Irish Republic. Drawing on private letters, diaries, and popular journalism, Garvin concludes that the radical elite who became rulers after 1921 were heavily influenced not only by ancient agrarian grievances, but also by contemporary Catholic abhorrence of the Protestant and secular world. An original contribution to Irish historiography, this book reconstructs the private thoughts behind public political figures.

ISBN: 9780198205555 / Angielski / Twarda / 613 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The French revolution had an electrifying impact on Irish society. The 1970s saw the birth of modern Irish republicanism and Orangeism, whose antagonism remains a defining feature of Irish political life. The 1970s also saw the birth of a new approach to Ireland within important elements of the British political elite, men like Pitt and Castlereagh. Strongly influenced by Edmund Burke, they argued that Britain's strategic interests were best served by a policy of catholic emancipation and political integration in Ireland. Britain's failure to achieve this objective, dramatised by the...

ISBN: 9780198205876 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a study of religion, politics, and society in a period of great significance in modern Irish history. The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries saw the consolidation of the power of the Protestant landed class, the enactment of penal laws against Catholics, and constitutional conflicts that forced Irish Protestants to redefine their ideas of national identity. Connolly's scholarly and wide-ranging study examines these developments and sets them in their historical context. The Ireland that emerges from his lucid and penetrating analysis was essentially a part of ancien...
