Download or read book Knock written by Eugene Hynes and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Co-winner of the tenth annual James S. Donnelly, Sr. award for Books in History and the Social Sciences presented by the American Conference for Irish Studies (ACIS) In 1879, local people reported an apparition of the Virgin Mary and other supernatural personages at Knock, a poor rural village in western Ireland. The author draws on both insiders' views and his training as a sociologist to show how the apparition was related to the local social context including economic, cultural, religious, political and historical dimensions. Drawing on new and neglected sources of evidence, Hynes pays particular attention to the individuals most directly involved including the seers, local clergy, Land League activists, various promoters, and others. The author looks through participants' eyes as much as possible. To understand what those eyes saw, the book examines the local scene for half a century before the apparition. His deep knowledge of the local context enables the author to develop understandings of key persons and events before and around the apparition. Using the Knock case, the author challenges usually accepted explanations of changes in nineteenth-century Irish Catholicism. The book is important for those interested in the links between official and local religion especially in Irish Catholicism, for students of apparitions generally, for anyone interested in bottom-up approaches to social and cultural history, and especially for students of nineteenth-century Ireland.

Book Synopsis Dunguaire and Other Hynes and O'Shaughnessy Castles and Abbeys by : James Hynes
Download or read book Dunguaire and Other Hynes and O'Shaughnessy Castles and Abbeys written by James Hynes and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the information in this book appears in my books 'The Hynes of Ireland' and 'The O'Shaughnessys' but this book 'Dunguaire Castle and Other Castles of the Hynes and O'Shaughnessys' has been compiled and presented to readers having a special interest in typical Irish tower houses and fortifications.According to the website 'Curious Ireland', Dunguaire (pronounced Dungoora) is said to be the most photographed castle in Ireland. This fortified tower house was built in 1520 by the O'Hynes clan within yards of the ancient fort of Guaire the Generous, a seventh century King of Connaught. The poets referred to that 'palace' as:The white sheeted fort of soft stonesHabitation of poets and bishops.The mid -seventeenth century 'Act for the Settlement of Ireland' dispossessed the Ui hEidhne , Hynes, clan whose castles were seized and lost to them forever. Since then the castle has passed through several notable owners undergoing a complete restoration by the Lady Ampthill in the late 1920's. Lady Ampthill attained fame as a principal protagonist in the famous Russell divorce case, also called 'the Ampthill baby case', a series of court proceedings related to the conception of Geoffrey Russell and the possibility of a virgin birth! Her story and other historically associated events involving the castle feature in 'The Hynes of Ireland' and 'The O'Shaughnessys'. Today the castle is the property of the Shannon Development Company, open during the summer months to visitors during the day and paying guests at 'medieval' banquets in the evenings. Its website tells us: "An evening of superb food and wines along with renowned music, song and storytelling awaits you at Dunguaire Castle Banquet on the majestic shores of Galway Bay."The castles described here do feature in my books about these two ancient related Irish families but this book confines itself to descriptions and illustrations ( some fifty of them) of the buildings and architecture of these typical Irish tower houses of which there were hundreds in Ireland; most of them now in ruins. At least one Hynes castle has a ghost while one O'Shaughnessy castle claimed infamy as the site of a family duel which resulted in the death of the two duellists and another was burnt to the ground along with its inhabitants by Cromwellian troops in 1651.

Download or read book A War Imagined written by Samuel Hynes and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the opulent Edwardian years and the 1920s the First World War opens like a gap in time. England after the war was a different place; the arts were different; history was different; sex, society, class were all different. Samuel Hynes examines the process of that transformation. He explores a vast cultural mosaic comprising novels and poetry, music and theatre, journalism, paintings, films, parliamentary debates, public monuments, sartorial fashions, personal diaries and letters. Told in rich detail, this penetrating account shatters much of the received wisdom about the First World War. It shows how English culture adapted itself to the needs of killing, how our stereotypes of the war gradually took shape and how the nations thought and imagination were profoundly and irretrievably changed.
Download or read book As You Were written by Elaine Feeney and published by Biblioasis. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize • Winner of the 2021 Kate O'Brien Award • Winner of the 2021 Dalkey Emerging Writer Award Sinéad Hynes is a tough, driven, funny young property developer with a terrifying secret. No-one knows it: not her fellow patients in a failing hospital, and certainly not her family. She has confided only in Google and a shiny magpie. But she can't go on like this, tirelessly trying to outstrip her past and in mortal fear of her future. Across the ward, Margaret Rose is running her chaotic family from her rose-gold Nokia. In the neighbouring bed, Jane, rarely but piercingly lucid, is searching for a decent bra and for someone to listen. And Sinéad needs them both. As You Were is about intimate histories, institutional failures, the kindness of strangers, and the darkly present past of modern Ireland; about women's stories and women's struggles; about seizing the moment to be free. Wildly funny, desperately tragic, inventive and irrepressible, As You Were introduces a brilliant voice in Irish fiction with a book that is absolutely of our times.
Book Synopsis Vinegar Hill: The Last Stand of the Wexford Rebels of 1798 by : Ronan O'Flaherty
Download or read book Vinegar Hill: The Last Stand of the Wexford Rebels of 1798 written by Ronan O'Flaherty and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 21 June 1798, 20,000 men, women and children found themselves trapped on a hill outside Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, facing a Crown force of some 15,000 troops led by no less than four generals and 16 general officers. It was the dying days of a rebellion that had shaken British rule in Ireland to its core. The army that now surrounded the hill was determined that none should escape. Now a multi-disciplinary research programme involving archaeologists, historians, folklorists, architectural historians and military specialists provides startling new insight into what actually happened at Vinegar Hill on that fateful day in June 1798. Using cutting-edge technology and traditional research, the sequence of the battle jumps sharply into focus, beginning with the 'shock-and awe' bombardment at dawn, the attack on Enniscorthy and the hill, and the critical defence of the bridge across the Slaney that allowed so many of the defenders on the hill to escape.
Book Synopsis The Beauty Queen of Leenane by : Martin McDonagh
Download or read book The Beauty Queen of Leenane written by Martin McDonagh and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-08-11 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Student Edition of Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane features expert and helpful annotation, including a scene-by-scene summary, a detailed commentary on the dramatic, social and political context, and on the themes, characters, language and structure of the play, as well a list of suggested reading and questions for further study and a review of performance history. Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, The Beauty Queen of Leenane tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely spinster in her early forties, and Mag her devilishly manipulative ageing mother whose interference in Maureen's first and potentially last loving relationship sets in motion a train of events that is as gothically funny as it is horrific. Maureen might long for the romance that will spirit her away, but if she goes, who will stir the lumps out of Mag's Complan? The Beauty Queen of Leenane was first presented as a Druid Theatre/Royal Court Theatre co-production in January 1996. An instant classic from its first performance, The Beauty Queen of Leenane established Martin McDonagh as the natural successor to Oscar Wilde and Joe Orton. The Oscar and Bafta-winning writer's other films and plays include In Bruges and The Pillowman.
