Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Readers' Guide to Irish Fiction The present guide TO irish fiction is intended by the author as the first part of a work in which it is hoped to furnish notes on books of all kinds dealing with Irish subjects. Before explaining the scope of this section of the work it may be well, in order to forestall wrong impressions, to say at once what it is not. In the first place, then, it does not lay claim to be a bibliography. By this I do not mean that I am content to be inaccurate or haphazard, but simply that I do not aim at exhaustive completeness. In the second place, it is not a catalogue of books by Irish writers. Lastly, it does not deal exclusively with books printed or published in Ireland. The author's aim has been to get together and to print in a convenient form a classified list of novels, tales, etc. (whether by Irish or by foreign writers), bearing on Ireland - that is, depicting some phase of Irish life or some episode of Irish history - and to append to each title a short descriptive note. Two things here call for some explanation, viz., the list of titles and the descriptive notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Download or read book A Text Book of Irish Literature Classic Reprint written by Eleanor Hull and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104 Book of Irish Literature This text-book of Irish Literature, which has been prepared at short notice to meet the requirements of the students under the Intermediate Board, takes in, generally, the period up to the early years of the sixteenth century. There are, however, some portions of the Literature which would fall chronologically under that period that it has been found impossible to deal with here. For a great part of the early literature no chronological order can, for the present, at all events, be followed. The earlier existing secular material comes to us for the most part gathered into great vellum compilations made by the assiduity of the scribes of the twelfth and following centuries; but the contents of these volumes are of various ages and the actual date of the composition of any particular piece can only be approximately calculated either by casual allusions contained in it to persons or events whose dates can be verified from other sources, or by the language of the piece itself. Often such calculations can only be fixed within the wide limits of three or more centuries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland in Fiction: A Guide to Irish Novels, Tales, Romances, and Folk-Lore The first edition of Ireland in Fiction was destroyed by fire in the course of the Rising in Dublin at Easter, 1916. A few copies survived but the book has now been for some time quite out of print. I have taken advantage of the opportunity thus afforded for a new edition by endeavouring not only to bring the work up to date but to improve it in various ways. The improvements may be summarised as follows: - (1) Information has been obtained about nearly all the books left without notes in the previous edition. (2) Notes on many books overlooked in the first edition have been added, the total number of books annotated being now over 1,700. (3) A large number of new biographical notes on the authors have been inserted. This edition contains, in fact, nearly five hundred and fifty entirely new notes on books and authors. (4) A great many minor additions and corrections have been made. (5) The Appendices have been revised, that dealing with Irish fiction in periodicals being much enlarged. (6) The titles of the books have been continuously numbered throughout, a more precise mode of reference being thus provided. The aim and scope of the book have, I hope, been sufficiently dwelt upon in the preface to the former edition. It remains for me to express my gratitude to the many who have helped me in various ways in the preparation of this new edition. To the following in particular I wish to express my special indebtedness. For work in the British Museum Library I have to thank Mr. Frank Maedonagh and Mr. J. D. Noonan, Mrs. M. Pearde Beaufort (to whom the Index is entirely due), and Miss C. J. Hamilton. I am under a similar obligation to Miss A. Cuming for work in the Bodleian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Literature, Vol. 4 To fawn, to crouch, to wait, to ride, to run, To spend, to give, to want, to be undone. In Ireland he saw a different state of things. The poets might almost be described as the patrons, for theirs it was to distribute praise or dispraise in poems, the which, says Spenser, are held in so high regard and estimation amongst them that none dare displease them, for feare to runne into reproach through their Offense, and be made infamous in the mouths of all men. Their compositions were sung at all feasts and meetings by other persons, and these also, to his surprise, receive great rewards and reputation. Certain it is, though strange, that Edmund Spenser, had he been the least hard in the pettiest principality of Ireland, instead of being the first poet of the monarch of Great Britain, would not have died of hunger. Neglected and starving in Westminster, may he not have regretted his political efforts to destroy the one national organism which above all others had ever generously encouraged the representatives of liter ature?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Life in Irish Fiction No attempt has, I believe, been made before to bring into a single survey the Irish novelists of the first half of the nineteenth century and their work. This book aims to give - between a few introductory remarks upon Irish society and a literary estimate - a sketch of the vista of Irish life opened by the novelists, and, in doing this, to consider their novels most carefully where they seem, in one way or another, representative of national life and character. The value of the fiction of the period before the great famine is on the whole historical in the larger sense; not artistic. It takes on significance chiefly as a remaking of Irish life, which, by virtue of such artistic qualities as it possesses, does what history proper can hardly do, - creates the illusion of the life of the past. In the novels may be seen just how the racial antipathies, the religious antagonisms, the sleepless consciousness of past wrongs, and, in short, all the discords that broke harshly upon the everyday intercourse of man and man, found expression.
