Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New History of Ireland is the largest scholarly project in modern Irish history. In 9 volumes, it provides a comprehensive new synthesis of modern scholarship on every aspect of Irish history and prehistory, from the earliest geological and archaeological evidence, through the Middle Ages, down to the present day. Volume I begins by looking at geography and the physical environment. Chapters follow that examine pre-3000, neolithic, bronze-age and iron-age Ireland and Ireland up to 800. Society, laws, church and politics are all analysed separately as are architecture, literature, manuscripts, language, coins and music. The volume is brought up to 1166 with chapters, amongst others, on the Vikings, Ireland and its neighbours, and opposition to the High-Kings. A final chapter moves further on in time, examining Latin learning and literature in Ireland to 1500.

Download or read book Ancient Ireland written by Laurence Flanagan and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 1998-10-29 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Celts first arrived in Ireland around 200 B.C., the island had already been inhabited for over 7000 years. Drawing on a wealth of archaeological evidence and the author's own mastery of the subject, Ancient Ireland returns to those pre-Celtic roots in a bid to discover the secrets of the island's first inhabitants: Who were they? And how did they live? Few accounts of the period are as exhaustively researched; fewer still are as alive with historical insight and compelling detail. At once accessible and comprehensive, Ancient Ireland is an indispensable guide to early Irish civilisation, its culture and mythology.

Download or read book Ancient Ireland written by R.A.S. Macalister and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological evidence here is used to help build up a picture of the lives led by the people of which it is a record. The contents include a description of primitive settlements, leading up to an account of the art, trade and civilization generally of early ages prior to the Celtic invasion and up to the end of Medieval times. Two chapters take narratives from the time and analyse them against physical evidence and consider what they tell us alongside that information. Many often overlooked facts are brought to the fore and special attention is paid to the overwhelming influence of climate in shaping human destiny. Originally published in 1935, this book is as enlightening today.
Download or read book In Search of Ancient Ireland written by Carmel McCaffrey and published by Ivan R. Dee. This book was released on 2003-06-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging book traces the history, archaeology, and legends of ancient Ireland from 9000 B.C., when nomadic hunter-gatherers appeared in Ireland at the end of the last Ice Age to 1167 A.D., when a Norman invasion brought the country under control of the English crown for the first time. So much of what people today accept as ancient Irish history—Celtic invaders from Europe turning Ireland into a Celtic nation; St. Patrick driving the snakes from Ireland and converting its people to Christianity—is myth and legend with little basis in reality. The truth is more interesting. The Irish, as the authors show, are not even Celtic in an archaeological sense. And there were plenty of bishops in Ireland before a British missionary called Patrick arrived. But In Search of Ancient Ireland is not simply the story of events from long ago. Across Ireland today are festivals, places, and folk customs that provide a tangible link to events thousands of years past. The authors visit and describe many of these places and festivals, talking to a wide variety of historians, scholars, poets, and storytellers in the very settings where history happened. Thus the book is also a journey on the ground to uncover ten thousand years of Irish identity. In Search of Ancient Ireland is the official companion to the three-part PBS documentary series. With 14 black-and-white photos, 6 b&w illustrations, and 1 map.

Download or read book Ireland in Pre Celtic Times written by R. A. S. MacAlister and published by . This book was released on 2020-05 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few years have seen a great change in the study of prehistoric times. Up till then writers were mainly engaged in recording discoveries, studying remains typologically, evolving comparative chronologies, and to a less extent noting the distribution of various types of culture. Of late there has been a tendency to reconstruct from this material a coherent history of these early days, and the word ' prehistoric' is becoming an awkward term, for authors are now engaged in writing the history of prehistoric times.No one has done more to reconstruct such history than Professor Macalister, and his wide knowledge and the breadth of his sympathies, no less than the very readable style of his works, pre-eminently fits hira for such tasks. His latest volume is upon Ireland, and here he is fortunate in his subject-matter, for it would be difficult to find another area of equal size in which there exists such a wealth of material of all kinds dealing with prehistoric times, especially those following the dawn of the Metal Age.The reason for this abundance of metal objects of an early date has been made clear to us by the researches of the late Dr. Coffey, and we know now that in the Bronze Age, and perhaps later, Ireland was Europe's Eldorado, for the gold of the Wicklow Hills was sought for by prospectors from many different lands, while golden ornaments of Irish manufacture were exported widely, and may even have reached beyond the confines of this continent.But the wealth of Ireland consists not only in its great store of objects of gold and bronze, for rude stone structures known as megalithic monuments are very numerous throughout the country, and some of these, like New Grange, are of exceptional interest. Whether or no these monuments were erected by the gold seekers, as has been suggested, may be an open question; the monuments themselves add greatly to our knowledge of the island in early times. Again there is the immense wealth of Irish legend, and the information to be gathered from the study of place-names.All this varied material has been utilized by Professor Macalister, and he has produced a pleasantly written account of the history of the island from the earliest days in which it was inhabited to the dawn of the Iron Age. Though he is probably justified in his opinion by the evidence, or the lack of it, that there was no Palaeolithic Age in Ireland, this dictum is likely to be criticized in some quarters. On early Neolithic remains his views are not quite clear; he seems to derive the Larne culture from Scotland, yet states that the Oronsay culture was Azilian, while that of Larne was Campignian.
