Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Tourist's Illustrated Handbook for Visitors to Ireland in 1852 The traveller will glance at Ireland now simply from the traveller's point of view, and doubtless thousands who read this Guide will desire to have some statistics to enable them to estimate accurately the present position and character of this, to them, completely new country which they are approaching. By most of those needing a Guide like this, Ireland will be regarded as a land of picturesque attractions, and frolic, and romantic associations; but the beautiful scenes about to be explored must not be gazed at as mere pictures and some facts are, therefore, here pointed out as an introduction, which, contributing to correct conclusions, may enhance general gratification. From the traveller's point of view Ireland is not to be considered politically or polemically, but socially and commercially. Two or three circumstances first attract his attention. Ireland now presents one of the most extraordinary social spectacles ever witnessed in the history of civilisation. She is in a transition state. On the one hand, her native population has, in ten years, been diminished directly 20 per cent., and indirectly, in the sense of having lost the natural increase, by 30 per cent. On the other hand, the owner ship of her soil is changing hands; the old encumbered being succeeded by a new and unencumbered proprietary. And while these vast changes are going on, a railway system has arisen, which, in regard to the machinery for promoting the prosperity of a people, places Ireland next after England and Belgium in Europe. The labour market is thus eased of surplus hands who, in America, have found contentment and prosperity. Free capital is introduced for the development of agriculture. The railways present themselves to increase the value of the land in the districts which they traverse, to multiply the rural markets, to stimulate manufacture, to promote trade, and to put all Ireland in direct communication on the one coast with England and Scotland, and on the other shores with the buoyant and beckoning western world. Ireland, no doubt, is still reeling under the consequences of the famine of '46 but, looking to material resources only, it is obvious that no country in the world has at this moment more distinct prospects of an onward career. Everything is there, consequently, to be looked at with reference to those considerations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Irish through British Eyes written by Edward Lengel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mainstream British attitude toward the Irish in the first half of the 1840s was based upon the belief in Irish improvability. Most educated British rejected any notion of Irish racial inferiority and insisted that under middle-class British tutelage the Irish would in time reach a standard of civilization approaching that of Britain. However, the potato famine of 1846-1852, which coincided with a number of external and domestic crises that appeared to threaten the stability of Great Britain, led a large portion of the British public to question the optimistic liberal attitude toward the Irish. Rhetoric concerning the relationship between the two peoples would change dramatically as a result. Prior to the famine, the perceived need to maintain the Anglo-Irish union, and the subservience of the Irish, was resolved by resort to a gendered rhetoric of marriage. Many British writers accordingly portrayed the union as a natural, necessary and complementary bond between male and female, maintaining the appearance if not the substance of a partnership of equals. With the coming of the famine, the unwillingness of the British government and public to make the sacrifices necessary, not only to feed the Irish but to regenerate their island, was justified by assertions of Irish irredeemability and racial inferiority. By the 1850s, Ireland increasingly appeared not as a member of the British family of nations in need of uplifting, but as a colony whose people were incompatible with the British and needed to be kept in place by force of arms.

Download or read book Versions Of Ireland written by Eóin Flannery and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Versions of Ireland brings a refined postcolonial theoretical optic to bear on many of the most urgent questions within contemporary Irish cultural studies. Drawing on, and extending, the most advanced critical work within the discipline, the book offers a subtle critical genealogy of the development of Ireland’s diverse postcolonial projects. Furthermore, it reflects on the relevance and the effectiveness of postcolonial and subaltern historiographical methodologies in an Irish context, interrogating the ethical and political problematics of such discursive importation. Flannery’s work highlights the operative dynamics of imperial modernity, together with its representational agents, in Ireland, and also divines moments of explicit and implicit resistance to modernity’s rationalising and accumulative urges. The book is pioneering in the facility and ease with which it navigates the interdisciplinary terrain of Irish studies. Flannery provides enabling and challenging new readings of the poetry of the bi-lingual poet, Michael Hartnett; the politically imaginative vistas of the republican mural tradition in the North of Ireland; the gothic anxieties inherent in the fiction of Eugene McCabe and the semi-fictional writing of Seamus Deane, and the differential codes of visual surveillance apparent in Irish tourist posters and late nineteenth century photography in Ireland. Versions of Ireland does not dwell on the exclusively theoretical, but offers rich critical analyses of a range of Irish cultural artefacts in terms of Ireland’s protracted colonial history and contested postcolonial condition.
