Book Synopsis Irish Rural Interiors in Art by : Claudia Kinmonth
Download or read book Irish Rural Interiors in Art written by Claudia Kinmonth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fascinating view of many aspects of Irish rural life from the eighteenth to the mid twentieth century. Illustrated with more than 250 images, many of which have not been published before, the book evokes the hardships and celebrations of laborers and farmers, men and women, the old and the young as depicted in oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints, postcards, and cartoons. Most of the illustrations show people engaged in indoor activities at home, but schools, shops, pubs, and doctors' surgeries are also included. Claudia Kinmonth draws on extensive knowledge of the material culture of rural life to present a new social history of Irish country people. Working within a broadly chronological framework, the author addresses such themes and patterns of rural life as the architecture of houses, where people slept, cooking over the open hearth, rural dress, display, childcare, work within the home, the arrangement of marriages, weddings, wakes, and celebrations. The book also explores why Irish and foreign artists depicted rural interiors and sets their work in the context of art history.

Book Synopsis Wait for Me! by : Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire
Download or read book Wait for Me! written by Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autobiography of one of Britain's most beloved figures, last of the Mitford sisters, renowned writer and social figure. Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, is the youngest of the famously witty brood of six daughters and one son that included the writers Jessica and Nancy, who wrote, when Deborah was born, "How disgusting of the poor darling to go and be a girl." Deborah's effervescent memoir Wait for Me! chronicles her remarkable life, from an eccentric but happy childhood roaming the Oxfordshire countryside, to tea with Adolf Hitler and her sister Unity in 1937, to her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, the second son of the Duke of Devonshire. Her life changed utterly with his unexpected inheritance of the title and vast estates after the wartime death of his brother, who had married "Kick" Kennedy, the beloved sister of John F. Kennedy. Her friendship with that family would last through triumph and tragedy. In 1959, the Duchess and her family took up residence in Chatsworth, the four-hundred-year-old family seat, with its incomparable collections of paintings, tapestry, and sculpture—the combined accumulations of generations of tastemakers. Neglected due to the economies of two world wars and punitive inheritance taxes, the great house soon came to life again under the careful attention of the Duchess. It is regarded as one of England's most loved and popular historic houses. Wait for Me! is written with intense warmth, charm, and perception. A unique portrait of an age of tumult, splendor, and change, it is also an unprecedented look at the rhythms of life inside one of the great aristocratic families of England. With its razor-sharp portraits of the Duchess's many friends and cohorts—politicians, writers, artists, sportsmen—it is truly irresistible reading, and will join the shelf of Mitford classics to delight readers for years to come.

Book Synopsis For the Life of Me by : Robert Briscoe
Download or read book For the Life of Me written by Robert Briscoe and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adventurous autobiography of Robert Briscoe, the Irish Rebel who became the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin. First published in 1958, in this remarkable book the Lord Mayor of Dublin recounts his experiences as a young man during the Irish uprisings and later on in helping persecuted Jews escape to Israel, where he also took part in training of guerrilla leaders. “Robert Briscoe’s FOR THE LIFE OF ME is a wonderful, warm, often humorous, always compassionate autobiography, a tale of many adventures, a history of 20th century Irish politics, and account of Zionism and the founding of Israel, and above all the fascinating story of a complex yet wholly human lovable man and his family.”—Boston Herald “There are so many unusual factors in this book—elements of courage, devotion, religion—that the colorful former Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin emerges even more picturesque out of the pages of his own book after his story is completed. What makes the Briscoe story all the more valuable is the sense of humor displayed in the frank narrative of this remarkable man.”—Detroit Jewish News “Mayor Briscoe’s book can be read as an exciting, human story of adventure or as a portrait of a man who always went all-out for his loyalties, or a study in violence and what comes of it. Whatever the reader’s bent, he won’t find a boring line.”—New York Herald Tribune “FOR THE LIFE OF ME is a book in which a most unusual man tells about his most unusual activities. Rich in thrilling adventure, it is also bright with humor, and warm with the story of a truly happy family life.”—Chicago Tribune
Book Synopsis Queen of the Ploughing by : Anna May McHugh
Download or read book Queen of the Ploughing written by Anna May McHugh and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The embodiment of the spirit of rural Ireland' Anna May McHugh's name is synonymous with 'the Ploughing' - the annual Championships of the National Ploughing Association. The event is the biggest outdoor agricultural show in Europe and Anna May is the driving force behind its spectacular growth. Anna May now tells her story. Her description of growing up as part of a large family in rural County Laois is an evocative and affectionate account of an Ireland that is now gone. But in her account of how she went from being a secretary of the Ploughing Association, her first job, to becoming - to her own amazement - its managing director twenty years later is a story of leadership and people skills that are very much of the twenty-first century. Anna May was truly ahead of her time. Still living in County Laois, close to where she grew up, and now in her eighties, Anna May still runs the multi-million euro operation from her home, alongside her daughter, Anna Marie. Queen of the Ploughing is a captivating read, full of warmth, lively stories and Anna May's sharp observations. And it's not just about Anna May's life, but is also a celebration of the best of Irish life over eight decades.
Download or read book Ireland in Focus written by Eóin Flannery and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an analysis of the Guinness brand’s reflection of Irish identity to an exploration of murals and film portrayals of political prisoners, this pioneering collection of essays seeks to present Ireland’s relationship to visual culture as a whole. While other works have explored the imagistic history of Ireland, most have restricted their lens to a single form of visual representation. Ireland in Focus is the first book to address the diverse range of visual representations of national and communal identity in Ireland. The contributors examine the politics of visual representation from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Drawing from the areas of cultural theory, postcolonial studies, art criticism, documentary and archival history, and gender studies, the essays provide novel insights on a variety of visual-cultural forms, including film, theater, photography, landscape art, political murals, and the visual iconography of commercial marketing. Bringing together established scholars and emerging young critics in the field, Ireland in Focus breaks new ground in showcasing the essential dynamism of visual culture and its relationship to Irish studies
Book Synopsis Memory, Place and Identity by : Danielle Drozdzewski
Download or read book Memory, Place and Identity written by Danielle Drozdzewski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges theoretical gaps that exist between the meta-concepts of memory, place and identity by positioning its lens on the emplaced practices of commemoration and the remembrance of war and conflict. This book examines how diverse publics relate to their wartime histories through engagements with everyday collective memories, in differing places. Specifically addressing questions of place-making, displacement and identity, contributions shed new light on the processes of commemoration of war in everyday urban façades and within generations of families and national communities. Contributions seek to clarify how we connect with memories and places of war and conflict. The spatial and narrative manifestations of attempts to contextualise wartime memories of loss, trauma, conflict, victory and suffering are refracted through the roles played by emotion and identity construction in the shaping of post-war remembrances. This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective, with insights from history, memory studies, social psychology, cultural and urban geography, to contextualise memories of war and their ‘use’ by national governments, perpetrators, victims and in family histories.
