The Dublin-Belfast Development Corridor: Ireland’s Mega-City Region? - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Dublin-Belfast Development Corridor: Ireland’s Mega-City Region? - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The aim of the Dublin-Belfast Development Corridor is to link several towns and cities by various modes of communication in order to create a poly-centric mega-city region in Ireland on a scale large enough to compete with the major urban clusters of continental Europe. This volume brings together an interdisciplinary team of leading scholars and practitioners from both sides of the border to discuss the Dublin-Belfast corridor and the associated challenges of cross-border development from economic, geographic, regional studies, sociological and planning perspectives. As well as providing insight into this important project, the book also throws light on regional development more generally.

When the Mines Closed - Thomas L. Dublin - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

When the Mines Closed - Thomas L. Dublin - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

The anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania, five hundred square miles of rugged hills stretching between Tower City and Carbondale, harbored coal deposits that once heated virtually all the homes and businesses in Eastern cities. At its peak during World War I, the coal industry here employed 170,000 miners, and supported almost 1,000,000 people. Today, with coal workers numbering 1,500, only 5,000 people depend on the industry for their livelihood. Between these two points in time lies a story of industrial decline, of working people facing incremental and cataclysmic changes in their world. When the Mines Closed tells this story in the words of men and women who experienced these dramatic changes and in more than eighty photographs of these individuals, their families, and the larger community.Award-winning historian Thomas Dublin interviewed a cross-section of residents and migrants from the region, who gave their own accounts of their work and family lives before and after the mines closed. Most of the narrators, six men and seven women, came of age during the Great Depression and entered area mines or, in the case of the women, garment factories, in their teens. They describe the difficult choices they faced, and the long-standing ethnic, working-class values and traditions they drew upon, when after World War II the mines began to shut down. Some left the region, others commuted to work at a distance, still others struggled to find employment locally.The photographs taken by George Harvan, a lifelong resident of the area and the son of a Slovak-born coal miner, document residents'' lives over the course of fifty years. Dublin''s introductory essay offers a brief history of anthracite mining and the region and establishes a broader interpretive framework for the narratives and photographs.

Bohemian Belfast and Dublin - James Gallacher - Bog - Edward Everett Root - Plusbog.dk

Bohemian Belfast and Dublin - James Gallacher - Bog - Edward Everett Root - Plusbog.dk

This significant new work redraws the lines of understanding around the literary networks of mid-to-late 20th Century Ireland, particularly between Dublin and Belfast. Such a direct and personal connection between the literary bohemia of Patrick Kavanagh and Flann O''Brien, and the world of the Honest Ulsterman at the start of The Troubles has never previously been made. This book brings to light, for the first time, the creative writing of Gerard Keenan - better known by his pseudonym ''Jude the Obscure'', under which he wrote a regular column for the influential Northern Irish periodical The Honest Ulsterman for over three decades. He was also a contributor to Lagan and Envoy, and to Kavanagh''s Weekly. The fictionalised biographical nature of Keenan''s stories, written over the course of 40 years provides a unique depiction of Belfast as an artistic, literary and bohemian centre - a representation largely missing from popular and academic consciousness. Dr. Gallacher provides a major introduction as well as the texts of a series of Keenan''s unpublished biographical short stories. These are drawn from a significant cache of his private papers to which he holds exclusive access. They range in subject matter from accounts of his association with Dublin''s literary bohemia, particularly his tempestuous friendship with Flann O''Brien and Patrick Kavanagh and his time as a contributor to Kavanagh''s Weekly, to his role in the founding of the Belfast Arts Theatre. This material is supplemented by a small but significant selection of long forgotten work published by Keenan under his real name in the 1940s and 1950s. This facilitates a strong positioning of Keenan alongside several significant moments in Irish literary history. This is underpinned by the extensive critical introduction that defines both the perimeters of Keenan''s place within the Irish literary tradition, as well as establishing the corridors of connectivity through which his interaction with bohemian Dublin and subsequently The Honest Ulsterman were developed. The work offers explicit, thematic and stylistic connections between the two literary eras from the interplay between Keenan''s early work for Envoy and the unpublished material utilised and presented in the volume for the first time. In addition, a significant battery of personal letters between Keenan and the H.U editors, Michael Foley, James Simmons and Robert Johnstone is presented within the book''s introduction to highlight the extent to which the group sought to draw on and adapt the literary approaches of Kavanagh et al to facilitate a transcendence of the brutal realities of 1970s Belfast. This book is intended for scholars of both Irish literature and history, as well as those engaged in the study of peace building and conflict studies, given Keenan''s representation of Belfast as a city possessed of more than sectarian antagonism. The joint presentation of original literary fiction alongside a weighty academic introduction will appeal to those involved directly in the academic study of Irish culture, and those with a more general interest in the literature and history of 20th-Century Ireland.

The Sociophonetics of Dublin English - Marion Schulte - Bog - John Benjamins Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The Sociophonetics of Dublin English - Marion Schulte - Bog - John Benjamins Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The Sociophonetics of Dublin English shows how social inequalities and language are connected by the stances speakers take in interaction. It is based on an instrumental phonetic analysis of recorded interviews and broadcasting data and a detailed qualitative account of the same data as well as the socio-cultural context in Ireland. The analysis not only considers macro-social categories but also pragmatic norms and situational, more fluid aspects of communication. Contemporary social meanings and associated phonetic realisations are described and explained as the result of diachronic developments. Since the independence of Ireland local pronunciations have been re-evaluated and realisations connected with the former coloniser have fallen out of use even in formal and powerful domains. This investigation thus highlights the importance of diachronic data to understand contemporary sociolinguistic variation.

The Bordeaux-Dublin Letters, 1757 - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Bordeaux-Dublin Letters, 1757 - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The book presents 125 letters carried aboard a ship, the Two Sisters of Dublin, captured at sea in 1757, in the midst of the Seven Years War (1756-1763). Most of the letters lay unopened for 250 years until they were rediscovered in the UK National Archives in 2011.The letters from members of the Irish community in Bordeaux and their relatives, friends and trading partners in Ireland communicate the concerns and understandings of ordinary people in a diasporic community during wartime. Written by sailors, merchants, servants, prisoners of war, priests, clerks, and many women, the letters vividly illustrate social and economic structures familiar to historians of early modern trade and the expatriate communities of the Atlantic world. They underline the central role of familial relationships in structuring commerce, and illustrate how communities were sustained across wide expanses of ocean by streams of correspondence, by favours asked and received, and by a flow of commodities, gifts, money and patronage. The letters offer access to eighteenth-century advice on parenting and glimpses of family conflict; insights on the food history of the period; a window on Irish clerical education in France; and impressions of the links sustained by members of the Huguenot community in France with relations abroad. The 125 letters, plus translations of the twenty-five letters in French, are presented together with illustrations, maps, annotations, a comprehensive index, and a substantial critical introduction, to assist readers in contextualizing and interpreting the letters.

Letters of the Catholic Poor - Lindsey (university College Dublin) Earner Byrne - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Letters of the Catholic Poor - Lindsey (university College Dublin) Earner Byrne - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This innovative study of poverty in Independent Ireland between 1920 and 1940 is the first to place the poor at its core by exploring their own words and letters. Written to the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, their correspondence represents one of the few traces in history of Irish experiences of poverty, and collectively they illuminate the lives of so many during the foundation decades of the Irish state. This book keeps the human element central, so often lost when the framework of history is policy, institutions and legislation. It explores how ideas of charity, faith, gender, character and social status were deployed in these poverty narratives and examines the impact of poverty on the lives of these writers and the survival strategies they employed. Finally, it considers the role of priests in vetting and vouching for the poor and, in so doing, perpetuating the discriminating culture of charity.

Sara Allgood's Memories - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sara Allgood's Memories - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sara Allgood, Abbey Theatre actress, Hollywood contract player, Inghinidhe na hÉireann member, and early film performer, wrote this autobiography, entitled Memories, towards the end of her life, encouraging readers to acknowledge the roles of performers and theatre-makers in the creation of the Abbey. The book allows readers into the worlds of late nineteenth-century Dublin, the early Abbey, the Easter Rising, both World Wars, Hitchcock''s first films, and early to mid-century Hollywood. In her engaging voice, Sara Allgood shares intimate memories of well-known Abbey and theatrical figures like William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, J. M. Synge, Willie and Frank Fay, and Sean O''Casey; her account stresses the roles of important working-class contributors to the Abbey like Ellen Bushell, the charwoman, and Sean Barlow, stage manager. Allgood''s Memories tells the story of the Abbey from the perspective of a young North Dublin woman who had to sneak out after work to attend rehearsals; her account recovers connections between the early nationalist and feminist movements in Dublin, the founding of the Abbey, political activism, and British and American film. Allgood sees the denizens of the Abbey as we have not seen them before and brings us into her childhood home as well as the sets of 1940s Hollywood films. Her Memories will allow theatre, film, and political historians, students, and general readers to hear a new and refreshing voice that will inspire many to reconsider what they know of the Abbey, Dublin, and early film.

A Victorian Wanderer - Bernard Bergonzi - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Victorian Wanderer - Bernard Bergonzi - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

A biography of Matthew Arnold''s Catholic younger brother Tom, a scholar, teacher, and self-styled ''wanderer''. Arnold''s path in life took him, after a brilliant start at Oxford, to colonial New Zealand, to Tasmania, to Dublin, back to Oxford, and once more to Dublin, where he died in 1900. His spiritual wanderings led him into the Catholic Church, then out of it for some years, and finally back to it. He was close both to Matthew and to John Henry Newman, and his relations with them show unfamiliar aspects of these eminent Victorians. As a young man, Tom Arnold knew the elderly Wordsworth, and Arthur Hugh Clough was his closest friend. He was acquainted with such celebrated Oxford personalities as Benjamin Jowett, Mark Pattison, and Lewis Carroll; as a Professor of English in Dublin he was a colleague of Gerard Manley Hopkins; and in the last year of his life he read and approved of an undergraduate essay by James Joyce.The book makes an original contribution to Victorian studies at the same time as telling an absorbing human story. An appendix contains a previously unpublished letter from Matthew Arnold to his brother.

Navigating Urban Soundscapes - Annika Eisenberg - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Navigating Urban Soundscapes - Annika Eisenberg - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Navigating Urban Soundscapes: Dublin and Los Angeles in Fiction offers an innovative analytical framework to explore sound in different media and across two distinct urban soundscapes. Studying a wide range of novels, films, and radio dramas, using Dublin and Los Angeles as case studies, Annika Eisenberg asks how sounds are aestheticised to signify urban space in fiction, and how sounds allow such fictional urban spaces to be navigated, both by auscultators, the characters listening within a work of fiction, and by auditeurs, the implied audience of a fictional work. Eisenberg argues that the concept of "urban sound" is a cultural and aesthetic construct, and in doing so, she shows why aesthetics needs to be front and center in sound studies.

The Burden of German History 1919-45 - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Burden of German History 1919-45 - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1988, The Burden of German History 1919-45 examines the vast literature surrounding Weimar years and the National Socialist tragedy, daunting even for the specialist historian or political scientist. The essays included in this volume provide an invaluable guide to research of the time and provides a stimulating review of a wide range of topics in modern German cultural, political, economic and military history. The essays are based on a series of lectures given by German and Irish scholars to a conference on the theme ‘Weimar Germany and National Socialism’, which was held in March 1986 in University College, Dublin, under the auspices of the Goethe Institute, Dublin. This book offers a significant commentary on a period of German history which included the exciting and ambivalent freedom of the Weimar society and the repressive, murderous uniformity of National Socialism.

Diagnosis and Management of Tubo-Uterine Factors in Infertility - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Diagnosis and Management of Tubo-Uterine Factors in Infertility - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

This is the second compilation of papers given during the Related Communica­ tions Sessions of the XIth International Federation of Fertility Societies World Congress held on June 26th-July 1st 1983 at the Royal Dublin Society, Dublin, Ireland. Except for Part I, where results of animal experimentations are gathered together, the volume is concerned solely with studies in the human. The role of infection and endometriosis in the aetiology and treatment of the tubo­ uteroperitoneal factor in infertility are the concern of Parts II and III. Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of tubal disease are covered in Parts IV and V and the book ends with Part VI, chapters on the uterus and vagina. Laparoscopy and microsurgical techniques have undoubtedly transformed the diagnostic and therapeutic outlook in this area of infertility. This book shows you how far such techniques have progressed and how much there is yet to do. Dublin, 1983 Robert F. Harrison lohnBonnar William Thompson xi List of Contributors 5. A. Z. BADAWY J.
