Strangers to that Land
Author: Andrew Hadfield
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780861403509
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Strangers to that Land, subtitled 'British Perceptions of Ireland from the Reformation to the Famine', is a critical anthology of English, Scottish and Welsh colonists' and travellers' accounts of Ireland and the Irish from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. It consists exclusively of eyewitness descriptions of Ireland given by writers using the English language who had never been to Ireland before and were seeing the country for the first time. Each extract, where necessary, is set in context and briefly explained. The result is a vivid, continuous record of Ireland as defined and judged by the British over a period of four centuries. In their general introduction the editors discuss the significance of these changing historical perceptions, as well as the impact upon them of literary conventions which played a part in shaping the emerging texts. It is argued that the relationship between Ireland and England within a British context constitutes a unique case study in the procedures of racial stereotyping and colonial representation, the exploration of cultural conflict and the aesthetics of travel writing. There are twenty-one contemporary illustrations

Richard Pococke's Irish Tours

Pages : 270
Book Description
Richard Pococke (1704-65), archdeacon of Dublin, and later bishop of Meath, was an obsessive traveller whose journeys into Egypt and the remoter Alps earned him a European reputation. His extensive travels through Ireland from the 1740s to the 1760s included a circuit of the Irish coastline in 1752 and a journey through west Cork and Kerry in 1758. These were more explorations than tours, and they included excursions to many of the offshore islands then almost completely unvisited by English or other travellers. Pococke kept a detailed written record of all his travels. His Irish journals, never before collected, are here published complete for the first time. They offer a fascinating insight into the life of mid-eighteenth century Ireland.
