Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Countess Kathleen: And Various Legends and Lyrics Ireland having a huge body of tradition be hind her in the depths of time, will probably draw her deepest literary inspiration from this double fountain-head if she ever, as is the hope of all her children, make for herself a great distinctive poetic literature. She has already many moving songs and ballads which are quite her own. The Countess Kathleen, like The Wanderings of Oisin, is an attempt to unite a more ample method to feeling not less national, Celtic, and distinctive.

Taken as a whole, this Companion comprises an essential introduction for students and teachers of Yeats.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays in honour of political scientist Bernard Crick, follows his celebrated book "In Defence of Politics" and takes up many of the themes he addressed in it, including politics and freedom, pluralism and political action, tolerance, socialist commitment and democratic freedom, the protection of individual rights, community politics, political education, and "market order". The topicality of this book is clear, especially as Britain and the European Community set their political agendas for the rest of the century, and as the Labour Party and Liberal Democratic Party seek to redefine their current and future political roles following the 1992 general election.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Can we not build up a national tradition, a national literature, which shall be none the less Irish in spirit from being English in language?' W. B. YeatsThis anthology traces the history of modern Irish literature from the revolutionary era of the late eighteenth century to the early years of political independence. From Charlotte Brooke and Edmund Burke to Elizabeth Bowen and Louis MacNeice, the anthology shows how, in forging a tradition of theirown, Irish writers have continually challenged and renewed the ways in which Ireland is imagined and defined. The anthology includes a wide-ranging and generous selection of fiction, poetry, and drama. Three plays by W. B. Yeats, Augusta Gregory, and J. M. Synge are printed in their entirety, along with the opening episode of James Joyce's Ulysses. The volume also includes letters, speeches, songs,memoirs, essays, and travel writings, many of which are difficult to obtain elsewhere.'Stephen Regan's anthology vividly and valiantly presents a nation, and a national literature, coming into being.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book of its kind, Out of What Began traces the development of a distinctive tradition of Irish poetry over the course of three centuries. Beginning with Jonathan Swift in the early eighteenth century and concluding with such contemporary poets as Seamus Heaney and Eavan Boland, Gregory A. Schirmer looks at the work of nearly a hundred poets. Considering the evolving political and social environments in which they lived and wrote, Schirmer shows how Irish poetry and culture have come to be shaped by the struggle to define Irish identity. Schirmer includes a large number of accomplished poets who have been unjustly neglected in standard accounts of Irish literature; many of these writers are women, whose work has been kept in the shadows cast by that of well-known male poets. He also emphasizes the importance of political poetry in a country that continues to be torn by sectarian violence. With its rich selection of poetic voices, Out of What Began reveals the political, social, and religious diversity of Irish culture.

Download or read book Legends, Lyrics and Hymns (Classic Reprint) written by Thomas Joseph Potter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends, Lyrics and Hymns I have selected from my published poems such as I deemed suited to the object of this little volume. To these I have added a number of new ones, England and Rome, The Prayer of St. Patrick, The Legend of St. Edward and the Irish Cripple, Eveline, and several others, which are now published for the first time. The hymns which appear at the end of the volume are translations from the Roman Vesperal. These translations were undertaken several years ago for the Catholic Psalmist, from which work they are now selected. In attempting them, two conditions were put upon me - viz., that the hymns should be rendered as literally as possible, and that the original metre should be preserved as exactly as the difference of the two languages would allow, in order that the airs assigned to the Latin originals in the Psalmist, might be equally available for the hymns in their English dress, and thus render them useful for novenas and other like functions. In endeavouring to carry out these ideas, I need scarcely say how many minor elegancies of diction, or turns of thought, had to be sacrificed; but, on the other hand, there is not one of the English hymns which cannot be sung to the air to which the corresponding Latin original is set and the utility of this arrangement is sufficiently proved by the fact, that the translations are frequently thus employed by those who find both devotion and pleasure in the use of English hymns, while the satisfaction with which they are used is certainly not lessened in the mind of a pious and sincere Catholic, by the reflection that they are translated, as closely as it is possible to render one language into another, from the authorized songs of the Church.
