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.

CHAPTER I. THE DUBLIN CATHOLIC CEMETERIES: THEIR FOUNDATION AND EXTENSION. The Dublin Catholic Cemeteries owe their existence to an organisation which forms a glorious feature in the modern history of Irerland. That organisation, created as it was by Ithe expression of the deeply-felt wrongs of the fcatholic propulation; developing as it did, the strength of long pent-up opinion, by prudent action, in the end brought to its consummation, by peaceful, legal, moral agitation--by wise, firm, and truthful expression, the great aim for which, for three generations, every Catholic from peer to peasant had longed--Emancipation. Let the beginnings of that great organisation be traced. On the 12th of May, 1823, a number of most respectable Catholic gentlemen assembled at "Dempsey's" in Sack ville-street, for the purpose of forming an association to conduct the Catholic affairs. Lord Viscount Killeen was called to the chair. Mr. O'Connell, proposed that an association should then be formed of such gentlemen as wished voluntarily to come forward for the purpose of conducting the affairs of the Irish Catholics relating to their political disabilities, and the means of having their grievances brought before Parliament. It was then resolved that it should be styled the "Irish Catholic Association." Thenceforth meetings assembled; they were held in the house of Mr. Coyne, the Catholic bookseller, No. 4 Capelstreet. They were conducted with earnestness, yet always with gravity and decorum. Business was transacted of importance to the cause; soon the grievances under which Catholics laboured formed the subject of a petition to the king, and a deputation to wait upon His Majesty, consisting of Catholic peers, and sons of peers, ...

Download or read book Ireland the Great War and the Geography of Remembrance written by Nuala C. Johnson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuala C. Johnson explores the complex relationship between social memory and space in the representation of war in Ireland. The Irish experience of the Great War, and its commemoration, is the location of Dr Johnson's sustained and pioneering examination of the development of memorial landscapes, and her study represents a major contribution both to cultural geography and to the historiography of remembrance. Attractively illustrated, this book combines theoretical perspectives with original primary research showing how memory literally took place in post-1918 Ireland, and the various conflicts and struggles that were both a cause and effect of this process. Of interest to scholars in a number of disciplines, Ireland, The Great War and The Geography of Remembrance shows powerfully how Irish efforts to collectively remember the Great War were constantly in dialogue with issues surrounding the national question, and the memorials themselves bore witness to these tensions and ambiguities.
Download or read book Remembering the Troubles written by Jim Smyth and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historian A. T. Q. Stewart once remarked that in Ireland all history is applied history—that is, the study of the past prosecutes political conflict by other means. Indeed, nearly twenty years after the 1998 Belfast Agreement, "dealing with the past" remains near the top of the political agenda in Northern Ireland. The essays in this volume, by leading experts in the fields of Irish and British history, politics, and international studies, explore the ways in which competing "social" or "collective memories" of the Northern Ireland "Troubles" continue to shape the post-conflict political landscape. The contributors to this volume embrace a diversity of perspectives: the Provisional Republican version of events, as well as that of its Official Republican rival; Loyalist understandings of the recent past as well as the British Army's authorized for-the-record account; the importance of commemoration and memorialization to Irish Republican culture; and the individual memory of one of the noncombatants swept up in the conflict. Tightly specific, sharply focused, and rich in local detail, these essays make a significant contribution to the burgeoning literature of history and memory. The book will interest students and scholars of Irish studies, contemporary British history, memory studies, conflict resolution, and political science. Contributors: Jim Smyth, Ian McBride, Ruan O’Donnell, Aaron Edwards, James W. McAuley, Margaret O’Callaghan, John Mulqueen, and Cathal Goan.

Download or read book Religious Interactions in Europe and the Mediterranean World written by Katsumi Fukasawa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The religious histories of Christian and Muslim countries in Europe and Western Asia are often treated in isolation from one another. This can lead to a limited and simplistic understanding of the international and interreligious interactions currently taking place. This edited collection brings these national and religious narratives into conversation with each other, helping readers to formulate a more sophisticated comprehension of the social and cultural factors involved in the tolerance and intolerance that has taken place in these areas, and continues today. Part One of this volume examines the history of relations between people of different Christian confessions in western and central Europe. Part Two then looks at the relations between Western and Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Islam and Judaism in the vast area that extends around the Mediterranean from the Iberian Peninsula to western Asia. Each Part ends with a Conclusion that considers the wider implications of the preceding essays and points the way toward future research. Bringing together scholars from Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and America this volume embodies an international collaboration of unusual range. Its comparative approach will be of interest to scholars of Religion and History, particularly those with an emphasis on interreligious relations and religious tolerance.
Download or read book So Once Was I written by Warren Farrell and published by Merrion Press. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Remember now as you go by, as you are now so once was I ...’ From unmarked plots to striking monuments, Glasnevin Cemetery has become home to a microcosm of Irish society since it opened its gates in 1832. Every grave has a story to tell, but with more than a million souls resting there, many of these stories have been long forgotten. So Once Was I sets out to celebrate the quirky, strange and sometimes unbelievable tales of lesser-known figures in Ireland’s famous cemetery. Representing all threads of Irish society’s rich tapestry, from lion tamers to pioneering aviators, the mistress of the macabre to a mysterious, murderous count, forgotten revolutionaries to the mammy of Irish cooking, the cemetery’s population is reanimated in this book through vivid retellings of their lives. This intriguing tour through the national necropolis brings back to life those Joyce called the ‘faithful dead’, an intricate mosaic of stories rediscovered among the grandeur of Glasnevin’s famed monuments.

Download or read book The Great Redan at Sebastopol written by James W. Bancroft and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 18 June 1855, the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, British assault troops moved out of their trenches before Sebastopol in the Crimea, and attacked the formidable Russian bastion known as the Great Redan. They came under such a murderous fire from the Russian defenders that the attack faltered, and the British were eventually forced to fall back. As they did so, they left over 1,000 comrades dead and dying out in the open and at the mercy of enemy snipers. The Siege of Sebastopol saw the development of trench warfare for the first time. Using eyewitness accounts and unpublished letters, the author tells the story of how the men coped with the terrible conditions as they prepared for the assault – as well as the events during and after the fighting. Among the anecdotes is an officer who had the ingenious idea of warming up cannon balls in the camp fires and taking them into the tents at night to keep warm; and he went on to live for over a hundred years! Well-known for his depth of research, the author questions a number of points regarding the Great Redan that are commonly believed to be historical fact. Quoting the father of Alexander the Great, it was the Russians who, soon after the assault on the Great Redan, first referred to the British as, ‘An army of lions led on by donkeys’. For over 100 years it was stated in many publications that the most Victoria Crosses awarded for a single action was the eleven presented for actions during the defense of Rorke’s Drift during the Zulu War in 1879. However, as the author reveals, twenty of the lions who fought at the Great Redan received Britain’s highest gallantry award, in whole, or in part, for their actions on 18 June 1855. The book includes biographical tributes to many of the men who were killed in action, gives details of the places where they are commemorated, and provides biographies with all the up-to-date information concerning the twenty Victoria Cross recipients.
