Download or read book The natural Leaders and Their World written by Jonathan Jeffrey Wright and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly detailed exploration of the complex urban culture of the Presbyterian elite in late-Georgian Belfast, The 'Natural Leaders' and their World offers a major reassessment of the political life of Belfast in the early nineteenth century. Examining the activities of a close-knit group of individuals who sought to reform British and European politics, Jonathan Wright addresses topics such as romanticism, evangelicalism, and altruism, with a look at writers such as Lord Byron, Walter Scott, Robert Owen, and Thomas Chalmers. In doing so, he tells the story of a Presbyterian middle class and the complex entanglement of their political, cultural, and intellectual lives.

Download or read book Middle Class Life in Victorian Belfast written by Alice Johnson and published by Reappraisals in Irish History. This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book vividly reconstructs the social world of upper middle-class Belfast during the time of the city's greatest growth, between the 1830s and the 1880s. Using extensive primary material including personal correspondence, memoirs, diaries and newspapers, the author draws a rich portrait of Belfast society and explores both the public and inner lives of Victorian bourgeois families. Leading business families like the Corrys and the Workmans, alongside their professional counterparts, dominated Victorian Belfast's civic affairs, taking pride in their locale and investing their time and money in improving it. This social group displayed a strong work ethic, a business-oriented attitude and religious commitment, and its female members led active lives in the domains of family, church and philanthropy. While the Belfast bourgeoisie had parallels with other British urban elites, they inhabited a unique place and time: 'Linenopolis' was the only industrial city in Ireland, a city that was neither fully Irish nor fully British, and at the very time that its industry boomed, an unusually violent form of sectarianism emerged. Middle-Class Life in Victorian Belfast provides a fresh examination of familiar themes such as civic activism, working lives, philanthropy, associational culture, evangelicalism, recreation, marriage and family life, and represents a substantial and important contribution to Irish social history.

Download or read book Sam Thompson and Modern Drama in Ulster written by Hagal Mengel and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1986 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-part study written in the English language describes the most important stages in the historical development of drama in Ulster (one of the four original provinces of Ireland and roughly equal in size to today's British province of Northern Ireland). The study attempts to show that drama in Ireland (North and South) has always been deeply affected by and involved in the fight for social and spiritual freedom on the island. Against this background, the plays of the worker-writer Sam Thompson of Belfast (1916-1965) are presented as realistic drama of a strongly political and humanistic character, attempting to heal the wounds and bridge the violent antagonies produced by centuries of sectarian strife.
