This book was released on 2000 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antiquarianism and archaeology emerged relatively late in Cork compared with Dublin, but this was not surprising given that Dublin was, in effect, the intellectual capital of Ireland up to the end of the eighteenth century. Outside Dublin, educational establishments and societies which encouraged the development of science based topics were not established until the start of the nineteenth century. Prior to the mid 1830s, antiquarian activity in Cork was carried out on an individual basis by men such as Abraham Abell, Thomas Crofton Croker and John Windele, however the establishment of the Cork Cuvierian Society in 1835 and the South Munster Antiquarian Society several years later brought those with antiquarian interests together at a time when there seems to have been an upsurge of interest in the Cork area. The numbers involved were relatively small but, under the influence of Windele in particular, both societies operated successfully for several decades in spite of the adverse effects of factors such as the lack of well established institutional structures to support the growth of archaeology and the often difficult economic, social and political situation. Research has shown that the Cork antiquarians were in contact with others of similar interests throughout Ireland and to a lesser extent in England both through personal contacts and through the membership of archaeological societies. As a result, they were well informed on developments in archaeological thought and practice elsewhere, but this did not necessarily mean that they were accepted or utilized in Cork and there were differences of opinion both at local level and also with some of their Dublin based counterparts. By 1870, partly due to the demise of some of those most involved and partly due to an apparent reluctance to accept the new concepts and practices, antiquarian activity and the development of archaeology in Cork had virtually ceased.

Download or read book Communities of Science in Nineteenth Century Ireland written by Juliana Adelman and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth century was an important period for both the proliferation of "popular" science and for the demarcation of a group of professionals that we now term scientists. Of course for Ireland, largely in contrast to the rest of Britain, the prominence of Catholicism posed various philosophical questions regarding research. Adelman's study examines the practical educational impact of the growth of science in these communities, and the impact of this on the country's economy; the role of museums and exhibitions in spreading scientific knowledge; and the role that science had to play in Ireland's turbulent political context. Adelman challenges historians to reassess the relationship between science and society, showing that the unique situation in Victorian Ireland can nonetheless have important implications for wider European interpretations of the development of this relationship during a period of significant change.

Download or read book The Amateur and the Professional written by P. J. A. Levine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the growing divide in nineteenth-century intellectual circles between amateur and professional interest, and explores the institutional means whereby professional ascendancy was achieved in the broad field of studies of the past. It is concerned with how antiquarian 'gentlemen of leisure', pursuing their interests through local archaeological societies, were, by the end of the century, relegated to the sidelines of the now university-based discipline of history. At the same time it explores the theological as well as technical barriers which arrested the development of archaeology in this period. This is a notable contribution to the intellectual history of Victorian England, attending not simply to the ideas perpetrated by these communities of scholarship but to their social status, relating such social consideration to a more traditional intellectual history to create a new social history of ideas.
