Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Banks of the Boro: A Chronicle of the County of Wexford The reader is entitled to some apology for the personal intrusion of the chronicler into his history, and here it is. In 1856, when the following pages were written, he neither wished nor expected that his name should ever be seen as author on the title-page of a book. Accordingly, retaining his alias of Harry Whitney, which he had assumed with his first attempt, "The Legends of Mount Leinster," he ventured to take up a quiet position among the kindly personages of his new drama, saying little and doing less, but still slightly accelerating the progress of the story. By the advice of Mr. Macmillan, the eminent publisher of the "Fictions of the Irish Celts," which appeared last October, he acknowledged the authorship, and any further persistence in disguise would be mere affectation. In revising the manuscript for press he would have removed his double altogether, but found that the process would be equivalent to the reconstruction of a considerable portion of the work. For this operation time and patience were needful, and of neither valuable commodity was there any provision at hand. Such being the case the considerate reader will please to show indulgence, and look on the writer as a hearty sympathiser with the spirit of the inscription which, as the late estimable scholar, Mr. Patrick Vincent Fitz-Patrick, author of Thaumaturgus, asserted was to be seen in his day on the frieze of the temple at Sais in Egypt: "Know all ye who come into the world, And all ye who go out. That the Gods detest impudence." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Step Dancing in Ireland written by Catherine E. Foley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people step dancing is associated mainly with the Irish step-dance stage shows, Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, which assisted both in promoting the dance form and in placing Ireland globally. But, in this book, Catherine Foley illustrates that the practice and contexts of step dancing are much more complicated and fluid. Tracing the trajectory of step dancing in Ireland, she tells its story from roots in eighteenth-century Ireland to its diverse cultural manifestations today. She examines the interrelationships between step dancing and the changing historical and cultural contexts of colonialism, nationalism, postcolonialism and globalization, and shows that step dancing is a powerful tool of embodiment and meaning that can provoke important questions relating to culture and identity through the bodies of those who perform it. Focusing on the rural European region of North Kerry in the south-west of Ireland, Catherine Foley examines three step-dance practices: one, the rural Molyneaux step-dance practice, representing the end of a relatively long-lived system of teaching by itinerant dancing masters in the region; two, Rinceoirí na Ríochta, a dance school representative of the urbanized staged, competition orientated practice, cultivated by the cultural nationalist movement, the Gaelic League, established at the end of the nineteenth century, and practised today both in Ireland and abroad; and three, the stylized, commoditized, folk-theatrical practice of Siamsa Tíre, the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, established in North Kerry in the 1970s. Written from an ethnochoreological perspective, Catherine Foley provides a rich historical and ethnographic account of step dancing, step dancers and cultural institutions in Ireland.
Download or read book Dance in Ireland written by Sharon A. Phelan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dance in Ireland: Steps, Stages and Stories, Sharon Phelan provides an in-depth view of dance in Ireland during the colonial and post-colonial eras. She presents dance as an integral part of Irish life and as a signifier of cultural change. Central themes are documented and analysed. They include cross-cultural influences, the dance master and pantomimic dance traditions, dance during the Gaelic Revival, dichotomies in dance, and the theatricalisation of Irish dance. The book is illustrated with photographs and it is an indispensable resource for academics and artists alike, as they continue to foster dance, on the page and on the stage.
