Medieval Ireland (New Gill History of Ireland 1) The Enduring Tradition ? Ireland from the Coming of Christianity to the Reformation【電子書籍】[ Michael Richter ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Medieval Ireland ? The Enduring Tradition, the first instalment in the New Gill History of Ireland series, offers an overview of Irish history from the coming of Christianity in the fifth century to the Reformation in the sixteenth, concentrating on Ireland's cultural and social life and highlighting Irish society's inherent stability in an very unstable period. Such a broad survey reveals features otherwise not easily detected. For all the complexity of political developments, Irish society remained basically stable and managed to withstand the onslaught of both the Vikings and the English. The inherent strength of Ireland consisted in the cultural heritage from pre-historic times, which remained influential throughout the centuries discussed in Professor Michael Richter's engaging and informative book. Irish history has traditionally been described either in isolation or in the manner in which it was influenced by outside forces, especially by England. This book strikes a different balance. First, the time span covered is longer than usual, and more attention is paid to the early medieval centuries than to the later period. Secondly, less emphasis is placed in this book on the political or military history of Ireland than on general social and cultural aspects. As a result, a more mature interpretation of medieval Ireland emerges, one in which social and cultural norms inherited from pre-historic times are seen to survive right through the Middle Ages. They gave Irish society a stability and inherent strength unparalleled in Europe. Christianity came in as an additional, enriching factor. Medieval Ireland: Table of Contents - The Celts Part I.

Lady Bountiful A Tale of Power, Privilege, and Tradition in Rural Ireland【電子書籍】[ George A. Birmingham ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In George A. Birmingham's novel "Lady Bountiful," readers are immersed in a rich tapestry of life in rural Ireland, where social class and personal identity intricately intertwine. The narrative follows the life of Lady Bountiful, a benevolent aristocrat whose philanthropic endeavors reveal the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. Birmingham employs a keenly satirical tone, masterfully capturing the nuances of early 20th-century Irish society while blending humor with poignant social commentary. The novel's literary style, characterized by sharp dialogue and vivid descriptions, reinforces its exploration of the Irish cultural milieu during a transformative period, making it a significant text for understanding the era'??s socio-political context. George A. Birmingham, an accomplished playwright and novelist, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a clergyman in Ireland. His keen observations of the people and landscapes around him informed his depiction of life in rural communities, which often served as microcosms for broader societal issues. Birmingham's works frequently grapple with themes of morality, identity, and the complexities of human nature, all vital elements in "Lady Bountiful" that reflect his nuanced understanding of Irish culture. This engaging novel is highly recommended for readers interested in Irish literature and those who appreciate finely crafted narratives that shed light on social dynamics and personal motivations. Birmingham's wit and insight not only entertain but also provoke thoughtful reflections on the interplay between wealth, responsibility, and the pursuit of genuine connection. "Lady Bountiful" remains a remarkable exploration of humanity's moral landscape, inviting readers to grapple with the essence of benevolence and its true costs.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Otherworld Nine Tales of Wonder and Romance from Medieval Ireland【電子書籍】[ Lisa M. Bitel ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Nine tales of early Irish literature beautifully retold in a modern, evocative style</strong> A mysterious woman appears nightly at the bedside of a prince and sings to him until he falls sick with love for her. A determined hero tracks his beloved through several incarnations, struggling to win her back. A young warrior seeks a woman who turns into a swan. These are the plots of little-known, anonymous tales composed over a thousand years ago in the monastic libraries of Ireland. In poetry and prose, they tell us what happens when human and supernatural lovers cross the boundaries between our world and the Otherworld (<em>s?d</em>). Set in a lost time of heroes, demi-gods, warrior queens, and otherfolk of the Irish Otherworld (<em>?es s?de</em>), these stories inspired some of the earliest fairy tales of France and England. What is more, they are sexier, funnier, and bloodier than better-known medieval myths and romances. In <em>Otherworld</em>, historian and novelist Lisa M. Bitel offers lively retellings of these Irish original myths using her expertise in Irish history and literature to guide modern readers. She traces themes and characters that link the nine magical tales, explains customs and locations, and brings out the humor. Like all storytellers--whether medieval or modern, performers or scribes--Bitel interprets the originals as she leads her readers over the boundary of reality to the Otherworld. Drawings especially created for the book by Saba Joshaghani accompany these astonishing tales.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Celtic Revival? The Rise, Fall, and Renewal of Global Ireland【電子書籍】[ Sean Kay ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Celtic Revival? explores what happens when a society loses its wealth, its faith in government, and its trust in its Church. The glorious rise of the Celtic Tiger in Ireland was thought by many to be a model for future economic growth for countries around the world; its dramatic crash in 2008 resonated equally widely. Yet despite the magnitude of the ongoing collapse, Sean Kay shows that seen in historical perspective, the crisis is part of a much larger pattern of generations of progress and change.</p> <p>Kay draws on a rich blend of research, interviews with a broad spectrum of Irish society, and his own decades of personal experience to tell the story of Ireland today. He guides the reader through the country's major economic challenges, political transformation, social change, the crisis in the Irish Catholic Church, and the rise of gay rights and multiculturalism. He takes us through the streets of Derry and Belfast to understand the Northern Ireland peace process and the daunting task of peace building that has only just begun. Finally, we see how Irish foreign policy has long been a model for balancing competing interests and values. Kay concludes by highlighting Ireland's lessons for the world and mapping a vital path for twenty-first-century challenges and opportunities for the coming generations in Ireland and beyond.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

Reddy, amongst others.</p> <p>Key areas of discussion are: what does it mean to be ‘multicultural’ and what are the implications of this condition for contemporary Irish writers? How has literature in Ireland responded to inward migration? Have Irish writers reflected in their work (either explicitly or implicitly) the existence of migrant communities in Ireland? If so, are elements of Irish traditional culture and community maintained or transformed? What is the social and political efficacy of these intercultural artistic visions?</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The End of Outrage Post-Famine Adjustment in Rural Ireland【電子書籍】[ Breand?n Mac Suibhne ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>South-west Donegal, Ireland, June 1856. From the time that the blight first came on the potatoes in 1845, armed and masked men dubbed Molly Maguires had been raiding the houses of people deemed to be taking advantage of the rural poor. On some occasions, they represented themselves as 'Molly's Sons', sent by their mother, to carry out justice; on others, a man attired as a woman, introducing 'herself' as Molly Maguire, demanding redress for wrongs inflicted on her children. The raiders might stipulate the maximum price at which provisions were to be sold, warn against the eviction of tenants, or demand that an evicted family be reinstated to their holding. People who refused to meet their demands were often viciously beaten and, in some instances, killed -- offences that the Constabulary classified as 'outrages'. Catholic clergymen regularly denounced the Mollies and in 1853, the district was proclaimed under the Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Act. Yet the 'outrages' continued. Then, in 1856, Patrick McGlynn, a young schoolmaster, suddenly turned informer on the Mollies, precipitating dozens of arrests. Here, a history of McGlynn's informing, backlit by episodes over the previous two decades, sheds light on that wave of outrage, its origins and outcomes, the meaning and the memory of it. More specifically, it illuminates the end of 'outrage' -- the shifting objectives of those who engaged in it, and also how, after hunger faded and disease abated, tensions emerged in the Molly Maguires, when one element sought to curtail such activity, while another sought, unsuccessfully, to expand it. And in that contention, when the opportunities of post-Famine society were coming into view, one glimpses the end, or at least an ebbing, of outrage -- in the everyday sense of moral indignation -- at the fate of the rural poor. But, at heart, The End of Outrage is about contention among neighbours -- a family that rose from the ashes of a mode of living, those consumed in the conflagration, and those who lost much but not all. Ultimately, the concern is how the poor themselves came to terms with their loss: how their own outrage at what had been done unto them and their forbears lost malignancy, and eventually ended. The author being a native of the small community that is the focus of The End of Outrage makes it an extraordinarily intimate and absorbing history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Cultural Exchange and Identity in Late Medieval Ireland The English and Irish of the Four Obedient Shires【電子書籍】[ Sparky Booker ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Irish inhabitants of the 'four obedient shires' - a term commonly used to describe the region at the heart of the English colony in the later Middle Ages - were significantly anglicised, taking on English names, dress, and even legal status. However, the processes of cultural exchange went both ways. This study examines the nature of interactions between English and Irish neighbours in the four shires, taking into account the complex tensions between assimilation and the preservation of distinct ethnic identities and exploring how the common colonial rhetoric of the Irish as an 'enemy' coexisted with the daily reality of alliance, intermarriage, and accommodation. Placing Ireland in a broad context, Sparky Booker addresses the strategies the colonial community used to deal with the difficulties posed by extensive assimilation, and the lasting changes this made to understandings of what it meant to be 'English' or 'Irish' in the face of such challenges.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Changing World of Bali Religion, Society and Tourism【電子書籍】[ Leo Howe ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The glossy guide book image of Bali is of a timeless paradise whose people are devoutly religious and artistically gifted. However, a hundred years of colonialism, war and Indonesian independence, and tourism have produced both modernizing changes and created an image of Bali as ‘traditional’.</p> <p>Incorporating up-to-date ethnographic field work the book investigates the myriad of ways in which the Balinese has responded to the influx of outside influence. The book focuses on the fascinating interrelationship between tourism, economy, culture and religion in Bali, painting a twenty-first century picture of the Balinese. In documenting these diverse changes Howe critically assesses some of the work of Bali’s most famous ethnographer, Clifford Geertz and demonstrates the importance of a historically grounded and broadly contextualized approach to the analysis of a complex society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Last Who Remember Traditional Ireland in the Words of its People【電子書籍】[ Brian Kaller ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>For nearly two decades, Brian Kaller has immersed himself in the communal world of rural Ireland and fumbled toward a more traditional way of life for himself while raising a daughter in the countryside. Kaller’s prodigious work with communal elders, archives, oral histories, and memoirs has assembled a portrait of 20th century Ireland that can tell us a great deal about traditional cultures everywhere. The Last Who Remember invites the reader on a tour through rural life and shows how self-reliance and close communities keep the human spirit alive in times of desperate poverty and political turmoil. In each chapter, Kaller examines a different aspect of traditional life: childhood, schooling, eating, socialising, courting, and dying. He describes ancient crafts still practiced, from scything to smithing ? and learned many of these crafts himself. The Last Who Remember asks why people in modern societies report less happiness than previous generations, even with the convenience of technology. By demonstrating the social bonds and common rituals of Ireland’s traditional society, Kaller questions what we lack in the modern world. By exploring a traditional culture, this book invites the reader to reexamine our assumptions about our own past and reevaluate where our society is heading.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Irish Materialisms The Nonhuman and the Making of Colonial Ireland, 1690?1830【電子書籍】[ Colleen Taylor ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Irish Materialisms: The Nonhuman and the Making of Colonial Ireland, 1690-1830, is the first book to apply recent trends in new materialist criticism to Ireland. It radically shifts familiar colonial stereotypes of the feminized, racialized cottier according to the Irish peasantry's subversive entanglement with nonhuman materiality. Each of the chapters engages a focused case study of an everyday object in colonial Ireland (coins, flax, spinning wheels, mud, and pigs) to examine how each object's unique materiality contributed to the colonial ideology of British paternalism and afforded creative Irish expression. The main argument of Irish Materialisms is its methodology: of reading literature through the agency of materiality and nonhuman narrative in order to gain a more egalitarian and varied understanding of colonial experience. Irish Materialisms proves that new materialism holds powerful postcolonial potential. Through an intimate understanding of the materiality Irish peasants handled on a daily basis, this book presents a new portrait of Irish character that reflects greater empowerment, resistance, and expression in the oppressed Irish than has been previously recognized.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
