Download or read book The Family of the Barrett written by Jeannette Marks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Family of the Barrett: A Colonial Romance Habitats have been reconstructed. The exact number of leaves or the precise number of blades of grass may not be correct. But the species of tree and the kind of grass are. The painting in of a habitat need not mean verisimilitude. If at times in the restoration of the Barrett and Browning backgrounds, the picture becomes somewhat composite, that fact does not invalidate the accuracy of the picture as a whole. No doubt the mistake of placing some human beings in too close association has been made, for their temperaments or the circumstances of their hour may have kept them apart. But, whatever their separation, the essential fact remains: they shared the same habitat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Irish Enlightenment written by Michael Brown and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, Scotland and England produced such well-known figures as David Hume, Adam Smith, and John Locke. Ireland’s contribution to this revolution in Western thought has received much less attention. Offering a corrective to the view that Ireland was intellectually stagnant during this period, The Irish Enlightenment considers a range of artists, writers, and philosophers who were full participants in the pan-European experiment that forged the modern world. Michael Brown explores the ideas and innovations percolating in political pamphlets, economic and religious tracts, and literary works. John Toland, Francis Hutcheson, Jonathan Swift, George Berkeley, Edmund Burke, Maria Edgeworth, and other luminaries, he shows, participated in a lively debate about the capacity of humans to create a just society. In a nation recovering from confessional warfare, religious questions loomed large. How should the state be organized to allow contending Christian communities to worship freely? Was the public confession of faith compatible with civil society? In a society shaped by opposing religious beliefs, who is enlightened and who is intolerant? The Irish Enlightenment opened up the possibility of a tolerant society, but it was short-lived. Divisions concerning methodological commitments to empiricism and rationalism resulted in an increasingly antagonistic conflict over questions of religious inclusion. This fracturing of the Irish Enlightenment eventually destroyed the possibility of civilized, rational discussion of confessional differences. By the end of the eighteenth century, Ireland again entered a dark period of civil unrest whose effects were still evident in the late twentieth century.

Download or read book The Politics of Consumption in Eighteenth Century Ireland written by Martyn J. Powell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-12-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the politicization of consumer goods in eighteenth-century Ireland. Moving beyond tangible items purchased by consumers, it examines the political manifestations of the consumption of elite leisure activities, entertainment and display, and in doing so makes a vital contribution to work on the cultural life of the Protestant Ascendancy. As with many other areas of Irish culture and society, consumption cannot be separated from the problems of Anglo-Irish relations, and therefore an appreciation of these politcal overtones is vitally important.

Download or read book The United Irishmen written by David Dickson and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1790s, coloured by revolutions in France and North America, were to see the birth of republicanism in Ireland and the emergence of radical Presbyterianism in the north. This decade is increasingly being considered as one of the most formative in modern Irish history. This book includes fresh interpretations of the period by 22 distinguished international historians, all contributors to the 1991 conference marking the bicentenary of the founding of the Societies of United Irishmen in Belfast and Dublin. These scholarly evaluations give a fascinating composite portrait of 1790s Ireland, a crucible of nationalism, nascent 19th century democratic politics and social and cultural change. They make a significant contribution to the study and understanding of Irish history. -- Publisher description.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland written by Giles Mandelbrote and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-26 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland describes the development of libraries in Great Britain and Ireland over some 1500 years, and their role as a part of the social, intellectual and cultural history. In addition to obvious links with the history of books and literature, the volumes include consideration of education, technology, social philosophy, architecture and the arts, as they have affected libraries. The significant international dimension, which has affected British and Irish libraries from the Middle Ages to the present, receives due attention. Other themes considered in each volume include the housing, storage and maintenance of books and other material; the individuals responsible for their care and those who used them; developments in provision, organization and cataloguing; and the principles and attitudes - of librarians and users - which such developments reflect.
