Download or read book The British Isles written by Hugh Kearney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugh Kearney's classic account of the history of the British Isles from pre-Roman times to the present is distinguished by its treatment of English history as part of a wider 'history of four nations'. Not only focusing on England, it attempts to deal with the histories of Wales, Ireland and Scotland in their own terms, whilst recognising that they too have political, religious and cultural divides. This new edition endeavours to recognise and examine contemporary multi-ethnic Britain and its implications for 'four-nations' history, making it an invaluable case study for European nationhood of the past and present. Thoroughly updated throughout to take into account recent social, political and cultural changes within Britain and examine the rise of multi-ethnic Britain, this revised edition also contains a completely new set of illustrations, including sixteen maps.

Download or read book The Cross of Cong and Church Metalwork from Romanesque Ireland written by Griffin Joseph Murray and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis, for the first time, provides an in-depth analysis of the Cross of Cong and the corpus of Church metalwork from Romanesque Ireland that it belongs to. Its modern and medieval history is explored, in particular the role that the Cross played in the career of Turlough O{u2019}Connor and the establishment of an archdiocese for Connacht at Tuam. The Cross of Cong is fully described and illustrated and a detailed, descriptive, historical, and illustrated catalogue of the corpus is provided. An important argument on the status of goldsmiths in the period is made, before detailed discussion on the sources of raw materials, as well as the construction methods and decorative techniques that the corpus displays. Examination of the decoration on the Cross shows it to be largely influenced by native and Scandinavian styles. It is also linked stylistically with the market cross at Tuam and the Corpus Missal, which appear to have been produced in the same cultural, religious, and political context. There is also discussion on the original function of the Cross of Cong and the surviving corpus of Church metalwork, which is based on research of medieval sources, as well as nineteenth-century folklore. The symbolism of the Cross of Cong and the symbolism and iconography of other pieces in the corpus are also examined. On the basis of the surviving evidence, the workshop that produced the Cross seems to have been particularly active, as well as accomplished, and a number of pieces in the corpus, on stylistic and technical grounds, are attributable to it, and more seemingly influenced by it. Finally, conclusions are made, not only on the historical significance of the Cross of Cong, but also on the identity of the society that made and used it.
