Irish Literature
Irish literature's roots have been traced to the 7th-9th century. This is a rich and hardy literature starting with descriptions of the brave deeds of kings, saints and other heroes. These were followed by generous veins of religious, historical, genealogical, scientific and other works. The development of prose, poetry and drama raced along with the times. Modern, well-known Irish writers include: William Yeats, James Joyce, Sean Casey, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, John Synge and Samuel Beckett.
The Ordeal of Thomas Barton
This book explores the career of Rev. Thomas Barton. Barton's ministry illuminates life on Pennsylvania's pre-Revolutionary frontier. As missionary for the church of England, Barton championed the interests of the Anglican church and the proprietary of William Penn's children in a turbulent borderland best by both threats from the French and their Native American allies and challenges to English authority from a largely Scots-Irish Presbyterian population. Ultimately, his hopes were destroyed when revolution swept him to a life of loss in New York City, where he died. This study examines the tragic life of a mid-level Anglo-Irish placeman who sought to expand his opportunities in pre-Revolutionary Pennsylvania.--Dust jacket.
Writing Irish
This collection is the first volume to comprise notable selections from the Irish Literary Supplement. These sixteen interviews—some of the most distinguished pieces ever published in the journal—originally appeared in its pages between the years 1984 and 1994. James P Myers, Jr., introduces the collection with a critical essay exploring some of the aesthetics and conventions of the interview form itself. the conversations record the author's perceptions of their own works, the process by which those writings came into being, and commentary on other writers' work. From the lively give-and-take of the dialogue, the interviews reveal the passion with which the authors regard literature and their own writing. The book will serve as primary material for students and will preserve for Irish literature the discourse and methods of some of its preeminent writers.
