Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All places undergo change, but in few has this change been quite as sweeping as Ireland – both the independent Republic of Ireland and dependent Northern Ireland – so it is good to see where it is heading at present. Obviously, that has to be judged on the background of where it is coming from, not only over the past decade or so but over centuries and, indeed, millennia. This new edition of Historical Dictionary of Ireland is an excellent resource for discovering the history of Ireland. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The cross-referenced dictionary section has over 600 entries on significant persons, places and events, political parties and institutions (including the Catholic church) with period forays into literature, music and the arts. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Ireland.

Book excerpt: Sgealta Mhuintir Luinigh / Munterloney Folktales is a unique compendium of Tyrone lore in the Irish language including folktales, legends, songs, proverbs, riddles, charms, toasts and accounts of various calendar and other folk customs. The bulk of its contents was collected between 1929 and 1932 by the Professor of Irish at Trinity College Dublin, Eamonn O Tuathail, and the main body of his material was taken down from Eoin O Cianain, an Irish countryman born in Greencastle and resident in nearby Creggan. The balance was collected earlier in the twentieth century elsewhere in Munterloney by individuals such as Father Cornelius Short, a curate in Termonmagurk, Peadar Mhac Culadh of Glenelly and Pilib de Bhaldraithe, a native of county Mayo. First published in 1933 by Institiuid Bhealoideas Eireann / The Irish Folklore Institute, its republication by Comhairle Bhealoideas Eireann / The Folklore of Ireland Council eighty-two years later marks a landmark event in the history of the Irish-language culture of Tyrone. This new edition of Sgealta Mhuintir Luinigh / Munterloney Folktales comes with a full English translation by Seosamh Watson, former Professor of Modern Irish at University College Dublin (UCD), a foreword by Seamas O Cathain, former Professor of Irish Folklore and former Director of the National Folklore Collection at UCD, and updated folklore notes by Dr Kelly Fitzgerald, also of UCD.

Book excerpt: Known affectionately as "the Queen of Gaelic Storytellers," Peig Sayers here offers reminiscences of the daily events that made up her life (such as seal catching, collecting turf for roofs, preparing for a funeral wake) alongside the tragedies of drownings at sea, pilgrimages, and the news of the 1916 revolution in Dublin City.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routledge International Handbook of Irish Studies begins with the reversal in Irish fortunes after the 2008 global economic crash. The chapters included address not only changes in post-Celtic Tiger Ireland but also changes in disciplinary approaches to Irish Studies that the last decade of political, economic, and cultural unrest have stimulated. Since 2008, Irish Studies has been directly and indirectly influenced by the crash and its reverberations through the economy, political landscape, and social framework of Ireland and beyond. Approaching Irish pasts, presents, and futures through interdisciplinary and theoretically capacious lenses, the chapters in this volume reflect the myriad ways Irish Studies has responded to the economic precarity in the Republic, renewed instability in the North, the complex European politics of Brexit, global climate and pandemic crises, and the intense social change in Ireland catalyzed by all of these. Just as Irish society has had to dramatically reconceive its economic and global identity after the crash, Irish Studies has had to shift its theoretical modes and its objects of analysis in order to keep pace with these changes and upheavals. This book captures the dynamic ways the discipline has evolved since 2008, exploring how the age of austerity and renewal has transformed both Ireland and scholarly approaches to understanding Ireland. It will appeal to students and scholars of Irish studies, sociology, cultural studies, history, literature, economics, and political science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Irish Autobiography is the first ever critical survey of autobiographical self-representation in Ireland from its recoverable beginnings to the twenty-first century. The book draws on a wealth of original scholarship by leading experts to provide an authoritative examination of autobiographical writing in the English and Irish languages. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of autobiography theory and criticism in Ireland, the History guides the reader through seventeen centuries of Irish achievement in autobiography, a category that incorporates diverse literary forms, from religious tracts and travelogues to letters, diaries, and online journals. This ambitious book is rich in insight. Chapters are structured around key subgenres, themes, texts, and practitioners, each featuring a guide to recommended further reading. The volume's extensive coverage is complemented by a detailed chronology of Irish autobiography from the fifth century to the contemporary era, the first of its kind to be published.

Book excerpt: Peig Sayers was one of the most renowned storytellers in the Irish tradition. Born in 1873 in Baile an Bhiocáire, Dún Chaoin, County Kerry, Peig married into the Great Blasket where her fame as a storyteller began. Peig's recollections were never written down but dictated to others, and in the process often edited or shortened. As a result they often became the object of satire, such as Flann O'Brien's The Poor Mouth, and in the school book version that many generations of students were confronted with, Peig's recollections are often the cause of unhappy memories. Using original sound recordings from the BBC and RTÉ Archives, this book features transcriptions of Peig's own speech, annotated and translated by Professor Bo Almqvist and Dr Pádraig Ó Héalaí. Including a link to the original audio material, now we can listen to Peig's own voice as she tells us her stories and meet her in a way never possible before.
