Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Life in Irish Fiction No attempt has, I believe, been made before to bring into a single survey the Irish novelists of the first half of the nineteenth century and their work. This book aims to give - between a few introductory remarks upon Irish society and a literary estimate - a sketch of the vista of Irish life opened by the novelists, and, in doing this, to consider their novels most carefully where they seem, in one way or another, representative of national life and character. The value of the fiction of the period before the great famine is on the whole historical in the larger sense; not artistic. It takes on significance chiefly as a remaking of Irish life, which, by virtue of such artistic qualities as it possesses, does what history proper can hardly do, - creates the illusion of the life of the past. In the novels may be seen just how the racial antipathies, the religious antagonisms, the sleepless consciousness of past wrongs, and, in short, all the discords that broke harshly upon the everyday intercourse of man and man, found expression.

Download or read book A Readers Guide to Irish Fiction Classic Reprint written by Stephen J. Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Readers' Guide to Irish Fiction The present guide TO irish fiction is intended by the author as the first part of a work in which it is hoped to furnish notes on books of all kinds dealing with Irish subjects. Before explaining the scope of this section of the work it may be well, in order to forestall wrong impressions, to say at once what it is not. In the first place, then, it does not lay claim to be a bibliography. By this I do not mean that I am content to be inaccurate or haphazard, but simply that I do not aim at exhaustive completeness. In the second place, it is not a catalogue of books by Irish writers. Lastly, it does not deal exclusively with books printed or published in Ireland. The author's aim has been to get together and to print in a convenient form a classified list of novels, tales, etc. (whether by Irish or by foreign writers), bearing on Ireland - that is, depicting some phase of Irish life or some episode of Irish history - and to append to each title a short descriptive note. Two things here call for some explanation, viz., the list of titles and the descriptive notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Irish Life The following Tales, with others, were written many years ago, before I became a resident of Hongkong, and when I had more leisure to devote to literary pursuits than I have since had; they were all, however, written more or less hurriedly in fact, during intervals between the hours of professional duty, usually devoted to exercise and relaxation. All of them, save The Story of an Orange Lodge, appeared from time to time in periodicals of the day. The story named was published in a separate volume in 1864; my object in writing it being, to decry the Orange Confederation, which I then thought, and still consider, a senseless and mischievous organization, alike disgraceful to its members as to Ireland. Conscious as I am of all their faults and 1mper fections, I have reproduced some of these tales in this volume, for private circulation only: they serve to recall younger and happier days, and should their perusal afford the reader a small share of the pleasure their production has given me, I shall be well repaid for my trouble.

Download or read book The Lighter Side of Irish Life Classic Reprint written by George A. Birmingham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lighter Side of Irish Life Mr. W. B. Yeats, who IS A wit AS well as a poet, once found himself called upon to discuss the opinion which the English people have formed of the Irish. They insist, he said, in presenting us with all the good qualities which they do not want for themselves. For instance, they will have it that we are an island of saints. The saying is two-edged, cutting deep into the self-satisfaction of English and Irish alike. For the English, so Mr. Yeats seems to think, admire saintliness only in other peoples, while the Irish, so he went on to ex plain, have a glory thrust on them which they by no means deserve. I am not sure that Mr. Yeats' example is the best he could have chosen. I seldom meet English people who insist much on our saintliness. They are more inclined to credit us with a kind of non-moral Puckishness of nature, a mischievous irresponsibility for which they do not blame us, though they find it inconvenient. But Mr. Yeats' general prin ciple is quite unassailable. The English are al ways most generous in endowing us with ami.
