An Irish Country Welcome
Author: Patrick Taylor
Publisher: Forge Books
ISBN: 1250257328
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
An Irish Country Welcome is a charming entry in Patrick Taylor's internationally bestselling Irish Country series. In the close-knit Northern Irish village of Ballybucklebo, it’s said that a new baby brings its own welcome. Young doctor Barry Laverty and his wife Sue are anxiously awaiting their first child, but as the community itself prepares to welcome a new decade, the closing months of the 1960s bring more than a televised moon landing to Barry, his friends, his neighbors, and his patients, including a number of sticky questions. A fledgling doctor joins the practice as a trainee, but will the very upper-class Sebastian Carson be a good fit for the rough and tumble of Irish country life? And as sectarian tensions rise elsewhere in Ulster, can a Protestant man marry the Catholic woman he dearly loves, despite his father’s opposition? And who exactly is going to win the award for the best dandelion wine at this year’s Harvest Festival? But while Barry and Dr. Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly and their fellow physicians deal with everything from brain surgery to a tractor accident to a difficult pregnancy, there’s still time to share the comforting joys and pleasures of this very special place: fly-fishing, boat races, and even the town’s very first talent competition! Welcome back to Ballybucklebo, as vividly brought to life by a master storyteller.

New Guests of the Irish Nation
Author: Bryan Fanning
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780716529668
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"New Guests of the Irish Nation interrogates Irish responses to immigration within a broader analysis of the history of Irish nation-building. It draws on a decade of research by a leading expert on immigration and social change in the Republic of Ireland. Bryan Fanning's analysis of academic debates and public policy challenges prevalent academic thinking about racism and emphasises the dangers of ethnic nepotism in a context where many immigrants are unlikely to become Irish citizens. New Guests of the Irish Nation addresses the long-term challenges of coming to terms with mass immigration. These include limits to empathy and solidarity that need to be treated realistically in debates about integration and the specific mechanics of exclusion that pertain in different institutional settings." --Book Jacket.

Irish Materialisms
Author: Colleen Taylor
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019889483X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
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.

Irish Poetry: Politics, History, Negotiation
Author: S. Matthews
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349252905
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The award of the 1995 Nobel Prize for Literature to Seamus Heaney recognized not only the aesthetic achievement of his work, but also its political urgency. Here Steven Matthews presents a genealogy of Irish poetry which centres upon Heaney's recent preoccupation with the relations between poetry, politics and history. Writing from the perspective of Irish critical responses to the poetry, he discusses a wide range of work from John Hewitt through Heaney himself to Paul Muldoon. All of these poets have been inspired directly or indirectly by the situation in the North of Ireland. Placing the poems in their historical context, the author also analyses how these poets have reacted to the influence of W.B. Yeats. This important book offers a new approach to Irish poetry, linking it for the first time to the crucial political and historical events which lie at its centre.
