Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Life in Irish Fiction No attempt has, I believe, been made before to bring into a single survey the Irish novelists of the first half of the nineteenth century and their work. This book aims to give - between a few introductory remarks upon Irish society and a literary estimate - a sketch of the vista of Irish life Opened by the novelists, and, in doing this, to consider their novels most care fully where they seem, in one way or another, representative of national life and character. The value of the fiction of the period before the great famine is on the whole historical in the larger sense; not artistic. It takes on significance chiefly as a remaking of Irish life, which, by virtue of such artistic qualities as it possesses, does what history proper can hardly do, creates the illusion of the life of the past. In the novels may be seen just how the racial antipathies, the religious antagonisms, the sleep less consciousness of past wrongs, and, in short, all the discords that broke harshly upon the everyday intercourse of man and man, found expression. I am glad of this Opportunity of thanking Mr. William Butler Yeats for the criticisms which he has contributed to the magazines or prefixed to the anthologies he has edited. They have been directly helpful to me because of their unfailing sympathy, their knowledge, and their correct perspective, which I have not found combined in the criticism of a slightly earlier day upon the same or kindred subjects. I wish also to thank my friend, Mr. Lewis Nathaniel Chase, for his kind help. Finally, I must express my indebtedness to Professor George Edward Woodberry for the stimulus of his instruction in the years of undergraduate and graduate work, and in particular for the criticism and suggestion that have been inval nable to me in writing this book. The bibliography at the end of this volume may be useful to any who wish to acquaint themselves with the Irish fiction of the period here considered. Some authors and a number of novels that did not seem to call for attention in the text are included in the bibliography, together with a list of biographical and other works that have been found especially helpful.

Download or read book A Readers Guide to Irish Fiction Classic Reprint written by Stephen J. Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Readers' Guide to Irish Fiction The present guide TO irish fiction is intended by the author as the first part of a work in which it is hoped to furnish notes on books of all kinds dealing with Irish subjects. Before explaining the scope of this section of the work it may be well, in order to forestall wrong impressions, to say at once what it is not. In the first place, then, it does not lay claim to be a bibliography. By this I do not mean that I am content to be inaccurate or haphazard, but simply that I do not aim at exhaustive completeness. In the second place, it is not a catalogue of books by Irish writers. Lastly, it does not deal exclusively with books printed or published in Ireland. The author's aim has been to get together and to print in a convenient form a classified list of novels, tales, etc. (whether by Irish or by foreign writers), bearing on Ireland - that is, depicting some phase of Irish life or some episode of Irish history - and to append to each title a short descriptive note. Two things here call for some explanation, viz., the list of titles and the descriptive notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lighter Side of Irish Life Mr. W. B. Yeats, who IS A wit AS well as a poet, once found himself called upon to discuss the opinion which the English people have formed of the Irish. They insist, he said, in presenting us with all the good qualities which they do not want for themselves. For instance, they will have it that we are an island of saints. The saying is two-edged, cutting deep into the self-satisfaction of English and Irish alike. For the English, so Mr. Yeats seems to think, admire saintliness only in other peoples, while the Irish, so he went on to ex plain, have a glory thrust on them which they by no means deserve. I am not sure that Mr. Yeats' example is the best he could have chosen. I seldom meet English people who insist much on our saintliness. They are more inclined to credit us with a kind of non-moral Puckishness of nature, a mischievous irresponsibility for which they do not blame us, though they find it inconvenient. But Mr. Yeats' general prin ciple is quite unassailable. The English are al ways most generous in endowing us with ami.

Download or read book Moy O brien written by Emily Skeffington Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moy O'brien: A Tale of Irish Life This story (under a nom de plume) first appeared in December, 1878, when it began in the Dublin Weekly Freeman, and continued, until completed in the summer of 1879, when it was republished in America by Messrs. Harper Brothers, of New York. A few words now seem necessary by way of preface, as "Moy O'Brien" was written more than three years before Mr. Gladstone's Land Act of 1881 came into force, and allusions are made to a state of affairs which that and succeeding Acts did much to alter. Tbe Land Act mentioned, in these pages, is Mr. Gladstone's of 1870, an Act so very cruelly crippled in its passage through the House of Lords, that it soon became evident that another was imperatively necessary. 1878 was a memorable year for Ireland. The Political Prisoners (through the intercession of the American Minister) were released, and for the second year in succession the failure of the harvest was bringing dread and disaster to many an Irish home! The harsh landlords had not yet commenced in dreadful earnest the shower of those "sentences of death" which rained thick and fast in the winter of 1879-80, but the fanners were heavily borrowing to pay the claims upon them, and in every direction the outlook was a gloomy one! In Parliament, the Irish National Members were warning the Government of the coming distress, but as usual, a deaf ear was turned to them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland and the Home Rule Movement The great tendency which has been so marked a feature of Irish life in the course of the last decade to turn the attention of the people towards efforts at self improvement and the development of self-reliance without regard to English aid, English neglect, or English Opinion, excellent though it has been in every other respect, has had this one drawback - that there has grown up a generation of Englishmen, well intentioned towards our country, to whom the problems of Irish Government are an unknown quantity. The ignorance of Irish affairs in England is due partly to ourselves, but also to a natural heed lessness arising from distance and preoccupation with problems with which Englishmen are more intimately concerned.
