In the thirty years covered by this anthology, Maunsel & Co. published many major Irish poets who are part of the master narrative (Yeats, Gregory, Stephens etc.) but also 500 separate inclusions by lesser known or unknown poets.

This guide looks at personal development from the perspective of the individual as well as the organization they work for. The purpose of the book is to define personal development in the context of the information and library profession. It discusses what personal development can contribute to the respective performances of the individual, the information service and the employing organization, and ways in which this can be carried out. The growing range of qualities and skills required by information workers in today's constantly changing working environment are discussed, along with the role of the formal and informal continuing of education and training.
Examining an impressive length of Irish cultural history, from 1700–1960, Reading the Irishwoman explores the dynamisms of cultural encounter and exchange in Irish women's lives. Analyzing the popular and consumer cultures of a variety of eras, it traces how the circulation of ideas, fantasies, and aspirations shaped women's lives both in actuality and in imagination. The authors uncover a huge array of different representations that Irish women have been able to identify with, including heroine, patriot, philanthropist, actress, singer, model, and missionary. By studying this diversity of viable roles in the Irish woman's cultural world, the authors point to evidence of women's agency and aspiration that reached far beyond the domestic sphere.
These invaluable guides include church records, civil and land records, censuses, newspapers, commercial directories, school records and others, where they can be accessed, and how they can be used to best effect.
