This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the simplest slab of weathered stone to the most imposing monument, every marker in Glasnevin cemetery bears witness to a life that, in ways small or large, helped shape the history and culture of the Irish state. Shane MacThomáis offers a fascinating insight into some of these lives in this book. Within its pages, you'll meet not only the heroes of the Irish fight for freedom, like Michael Collins and Éamon de Valera, but also lesser-known Irish men and women who made important contributions to the state in the arts, sports, military service, politics and other areas of Irish life. Glasnevin Cemetery, encompassing Mount Jerome, Bully's Acre, the Hugeunot Cemetery and the jewish Cemetery, has great national significance through the social and historical influence of the people buried there from all walks of life over 178 years. Famous people interred there include the founder of the cemetery, Daniel O'Connell, as well as Charles Stewart Parnell, Anne Devlin, O'Donovan Rossa, Christy Brown, Brendan Behan and Luke Kelly.

Download or read book Glasnevin Cemetery Dublin 1832 1900 written by Carmel Connell and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1832, Prospect Cemetery, Glasnevin rapidly became the largest cemetery in Ireland and a place of national importance. This book demonstrates how the Dublin Cemeteries' Committee conducted its affairs and managed the various aspects of the operation of the cemetery. In examining the interaction of the committee with its employees, the study focuses on the lives of the ordinary people connected with the cemetery and provides a fascinating insight into a particular type of nineteenth century working environment. The establishment of Prospect Cemetery coincided with burial reform and the rise of the 'garden cemetery' movement in Britain and Europe. The author examines the cemetery in that context and assesses how it compared with its contemporaries in terms of interment practices, design and layout. This book opens a window onto a broad vista of Victorian beliefs and attitudes, encompassing moral values, class consciousness, work practices, approaches to organisation and management, and design theories and movements.

Book excerpt: The book examines the universal subject of death? looking at the particular experience of death, burial and commemoration in Dublin since the sixteenth century.
