Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales for Cottagers: Accomodated to the Present Condition of the Irish Peasantry 'jem only answered, that a rolling stone gathers no moss, that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and that when one is well, it is better to let well alone. Indeed though Stephen was a young lad, he did not like chang ing often, and he was of Jem's mind, when he ad vised him to wait till Morgan was settled in busi ness for himself, and his own time was served, before he should accept of his brother's offer. Morgan found Dublin the place to his mind, for when he had disobliged one master-carpenter, he told a plausible story to another, and was hired; and when he was tired of working, he found plenty of company who were willing to be idle with him. One day he walked out into the country, then went to the play; another day he saw curious sights, and then regaled himself at a porter-house and when all his money was run out, he returned to his work. But this kind of changeable life is not calculated to make a man fond of work, or of any kind of steady, sober conduct. It also in jured his health, which had formerly been good, when his meals and his work came in due course.

Download or read book Bardic Nationalism written by Katie Trumpener and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magisterial work links the literary and intellectual history of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Britain's overseas colonies during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to redraw our picture of the origins of cultural nationalism, the lineages of the novel, and the literary history of the English-speaking world. Katie Trumpener recovers and recontextualizes a vast body of fiction to describe the history of the novel during a period of formal experimentation and political engagement, between its eighteenth-century "rise" and its Victorian "heyday." During the late eighteenth century, antiquaries in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales answered modernization and anglicization initiatives with nationalist arguments for cultural preservation. Responding in particular to Enlightenment dismissals of Gaelic oral traditions, they reconceived national and literary history under the sign of the bard. Their pathbreaking models of national and literary history, their new way of reading national landscapes, and their debates about tradition and cultural transmission shaped a succession of new novelistic genres, from Gothic and sentimental fiction to the national tale and the historical novel. In Ireland and Scotland, these genres were used to mount nationalist arguments for cultural specificity and against "internal colonization." Yet once exported throughout the nascent British empire, they also formed the basis of the first colonial fiction of Canada, Australia, and British India, used not only to attack imperialism but to justify the imperial project. Literary forms intended to shore up national memory paradoxically become the means of buttressing imperial ideology and enforcing imperial amnesia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A constellation of new essays on authorship, politics and history, British Women's Writing in the Long Eighteenth Century: Authorship, Politics and History presents the latest thinking about the debates raised by scholarship on gender and women's writing in the long eighteenth century. The essays highlight the ways in which women writers were key to the creation of the worlds of politics and letters in the period, reading the possibilities and limits of their engagement in those worlds as more complex and nuanced than earlier paradigms would suggest. Contributors include Norma Clarke, Janet Todd, Brian Southam , Harriet Guest, Isobel Grundy and Felicity Nussbaum.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 2 The Englishman, whom we will call the historian in swearing, will depose to the truth of this or that fact but there the line is drawn: he swears his oath so far as he knows, and stands still. I m sure, for my part, I don't know I 've said all I knows about it, and beyond this his besotted intellect goeth not. The Scotchman, on the other hand, who is the metaphysician in swearing, sometimes borders on equivocation. He decidedly goes far ther than the Englishman, not because he has less honesty, but more prudence. He will assent to, or deny a proposition for the English man's I don't know, and the Scotchman's I dinna ken, are two very distinct assertions when properly understood. The former stands out a monument of dulness, an insuperable barrier against inquiry, ingenuity, and fancy; but the latter frequently stretches itself so as to embrace hypothetically a particular opinion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly acclaimed book is being published for the first time in paperback.

This book was released on 2017-02 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry Honest, blustering, good-humoured Ned was the indefatigable mer chant of the village ever engaged in some ten or twenty pound speculation, the capital of which he was sure to extort, perhaps for the twelfth time, from the savings of Nancy's frugality, by the equivocal test of a month or six weeks' consecutive sobriety, and which said speculation he never failed to wind up by the total loss of the capital for Nancy, and the capital loss of a broken head for himself. Ned had eternally some bargain on his hands at one time you might see him a yarn-merchant, planted in the next market-town, upon the upper step of Mr. Birnie's hall-door, where the yarn-market was held, sur rounded by a crowd of eager countrywomen, anxious to give Ned the preference - first, because he was a well-wisher secondly, because he hadn't his heart in the penny and thirdly, because he gave Sixpence a spangle more than any other man in the market. There might Ned be found, with his twenty pounds of hard silver singling in the bottom of a green bag as a decoy to his customers, laughing loud as he piled the yarn in an ostentatious heap, whir h, in the pride of his commercial sagacity, he had purchased at a dead 1035. Again, you might see him at a horse-fair, cantering about on the back of some sleek but broken-winded jade, with spavined legs, imposed on him as a great bargain entirely, by the superior cunning of some rustic sharper or standing over a hogshead of damaged fiaxseed, in the purchase of which he shrewdly suspected himself of having over reached the seller, by allowing him for it a greater price than the prime seed of the market would have cost him. In short, Ned was never out of a speculation, and whatever he undertook was sure to prove a complete failure. But he had one mode of consolation, which consisted in sitting down with the fag-ends of Nancy's capital in his pocket, and drinking night and day with this neighbour and that, whilst a shilling remained and when he found himself at the end of his tether, he was sure to fasten a quarrel on some friend or acquaint ance, and to get his head broken for his pains.
