Book Synopsis Glocal Ireland by : Juan F. Elices Agudo
Download or read book Glocal Ireland written by Juan F. Elices Agudo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformations undergone by Ireland in the last decades have relocated the country within that liminal space of the local and the global. The country of the deeply-rooted rural traditions, the severely religious impositions and the fragile economic system became in the 1990s a world referent due to its unprecedented and impressive growth. However, the emergence of the so-called Celtic Tiger and the recognition that Ireland had become one of the most globalised nations in the Western world met a dramatic downfall that has left the country (pre)occupied with matters concerning its re-positioning and re-definition within a wider European framework. The cultural and artistic productivity of this nation has also moved away from the topical insularity of the past, adopting more transnational and universal subjects, at the same time that it has struggled to retain its genuine values and its own signs of identity. For, in Ireland, the more this global progress has grown to be unavoidable, the more evocatively the local has befallen. Therefore, the editors of this volume contend that the global and the local should be understood not as opposed concepts but as two ends of a continuum of interaction. Within this state of affairs, this volume comprises a series of articles that revolve around the issue of glocality in Irish literature, culture and cinema in order to disentangle the complexities that underlie this concept and which are inextricably related to the drastic changes undertaken by Ireland in the years before and after the economic boom and posterior bailout.

Book excerpt: The essays in this volume, originally published in 1992, examine some of the pervasive implications of Victorian medievalism, and assess its creative manifestations and dual capacities for expression of reformist anger and escapist retreat.

Download or read book Arthuriad written by Frank Salvidio and published by Page Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legend of King Arthur has been part of the literary fabric of Western culture since at least the time of the early sixth-century Welsh poet Aneirin—principally through Geoffrey of Monmouth's early twelfth-century Historia Britainum, the late twelfth-century romances of Chretien de Troyes, Sir Thomas Mallory's Le Morte d' Arthur (fifteenth century), Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and more recently, in America at least, the narrative poems of Edwin Arlington Robinson and Lerner and Loewe's "Camelot," with its emphasis on the illicit love affair of Lancelot and Guenevere. Indeed, so prominent has the legend of King Arthur been in Western culture that before he turned to the Bible to write Paradise Lost, John Milton is said to have considered the Arthurian legend as the subject of an epic poem about the journey of the English people into Christianity. Now, in his Arthuriad, award-winning poet Frank Salvidio retells the story of the internecine rivalries that culminated in the tragic end of Arthur's attempt to found an ideal kingdom based on Christian principles and protected by a brotherhood of Christian warriors—the Knights of the Round Table. The Arthuriad tells the story in a series of dramatic monologues in which all the dramatis personae offer self-revealing recollections of the part each played in the tragedy of Arthur's failed attempt to establish Christian civilization in a pagan world. What emerges is the story of unrestrained human passions undermining the spiritual aspirations on which Arthur sought to establish his ideal kingdom.
