Dublin's Suburban Towns, 1834-1930
Author: Séamas Ó MaitiúPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
"In the nineteenth century the expanding Dublin middle class deserted the city for the suburbs, creating nine independent townships. This book examines the impact that these suburban towns had on the greater Dublin area ... The author explores the civic achievements of the townships in the areas of water supply, main drainage, public lighting, road-building, refuse-disposal, electricity supply, and the provision of town halls, public libraries, technical schools and public baths. The reaction at township level to the huge political changes in the 1914-1922 period is also explored, as are the attempts by Dublin Corporation, finally successfully in 1930, to extend its boundaries to include the townships"--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Samuel Ferguson (1810-86) was one of 19th-century Ireland's most influential writers, but his politics and cultural agenda have never been fully understood. This book draws on his neglected prose writings to illuminate his layered ideology, and to expose his various determining contexts, including his native Belfast and its Scottish Enlightenment hinterland, the Dublin University Magazine with its fraught literary-political protocol, the communities of the Ordnance Survey Commission, the Nation, and the Royal Irish Academy. Ferguson's guiding agenda is shown to be that of a civic idealism - a grassroots alternative to polarized political trajectories and a compelling ethos for a conflicted Irish Protestantism. The result is both a portrait of an individual in his time and a detailed engagement with Irish cultural politics from the Union to the Revival.
