Download or read book Facts and Fictions of Anglo Irishness written by Laura Balomiri and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writer, essayist, biographer, and diplomat Sir Shane Leslie (1885-1971) is a remarkable, although little known and even less researched personality of Anglo-Irish culture. Although his many publications rarely reached a second edition, they are highly valued as cultural-historical documents. His novel Doomsland (1923) has received critical praise as 'a bildungsroman of exceptional interest which has been most unfairly neglected.' This monograph aims to compensate for this unjustified neglect by trying to rediscover Leslie through his fictional and essayistic work. The research for this thesis included a visit to Castle Leslie in Ireland, Co. Monaghan, explorations of the family archives in Dublin and Belfast, and, as well as interviews with the writer's son, Sir John Leslie.

Download or read book The Irish Establishment 1879 1914 written by Fergus Campbell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-06 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish Establishment examines who the most powerful men and women were in Ireland between the Land War and the beginning of the Great War, and considers how the composition of elite society changed during this period. Although enormous shifts in economic and political power were taking place at the middle levels of Irish society, Fergus Campbell demonstrates that the Irish establishment remained remarkably static and unchanged. The Irish landlord class and the Irish Protestant middle class (especially businessmen and professionals) retained critical positions of power, and the rising Catholic middle class was largely-although not entirely-excluded from this establishment elite. In particular, Campbell focuses on landlords, businessmen, religious leaders, politicians, police officers, and senior civil servants, and examines their collective biographies to explore the changing nature of each of these elite groups. The book provides an alternative analysis to that advanced in the existing literature on elite groups in Ireland. Many historians argue that the members of the rising Catholic middle class were becoming successfully integrated into the Irish establishment by the beginning of the twentieth century, and that the Irish revolution (1916-23) represented a perverse turn of events that undermined an otherwise happy and democratic polity. Campbell suggests, on the other hand, that the revolution was a direct result of structural inequality and ethnic discrimination that converted well-educated young Catholics from ambitious students into frustrated revolutionaries. Finally, Campbell suggests that it was the strange intermediate nature of Ireland's relationship with Britain under the Act of Union (1801-1922)-neither straightforward colony nor fully integrated part of the United Kingdom-that created the tensions that caused the Union to unravel long before Patrick Pearse pulled on his boots and marched down Sackville Street on Easter Monday in 1916.
