Historical Dictionary of Ireland
Author: Frank A. Biletz
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810870916
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 643
Book Description
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.

Social change and everyday life in Ireland, 1850–1922
Author: Caitriona Clear
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1847796656
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Men and women who were born, grew up and died in Ireland between 1850 and 1922 made decisions - to train, to emigrate, to stay at home, to marry, to stay single, to stay at school - based on the knowledge and resources they had at the time. This, the first comprehensive social history of Ireland for the years 1850-1922 to appear since 1981, tries to understand that knowledge and to discuss those resources, for men and women at all social levels on the island as a whole. Original research, particularly on extreme poverty and public health, is supplemented by neglected published sources - local history journals, popular autobiography, newspapers. Folklore and Irish language sources are used extensively. All recent scholarly books in Irish social history are, of course, referred to throughout the book, but it is a lively read, reproducing the voices of the people and the stories of individuals whenever it can, questioning much of the accepted wisdom of Irish historiography over the past five decades. Statistics are used from time to time for illustrative purposes, but tables and graphs are consigned to the appendix at the back. There are some illustrations. An idea summary for the student, loaded with prompts for future research, this book is written in a non-cliched, jargon-free style aimed at the general reader.

The Church of Ireland in Victorian Dublin
Author: John Crawford
Publisher: Four Courts Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The Church of Ireland has received a considerable amount of attention recently from nineteenth-century historians but few have looked at it from the perspective of the local community, as has been the case with recent work by historians in Britain. This study of the church in Victorian Dublin begins with a survey of the development of the parishes and the building of churches. It examines the devotional life and pastoral concerns of the laity and the clergy and their changing roles. An analysis of churchgoing trends is included and comparison is made with trends in England and Scotland. The study includes developments in church architecture, the layout of church buildings and the content of church services. This is set in the context of the demographic changes and the overall decline in the church's population in Dublin. While the study addresses the religious rivalry which existed between Catholics and Protestants, it also includes consideration of the laity's role in the management of the day-to-day life of the local church community. The social and educational backgrounds of the clergy are discussed and an account is given of their training and the changing process by which they were appointed to parishes. The study suggests that trends in the Church of Ireland in Dublin at the time were not dissimilar to the Church of England and both churches experienced a religious boom in the period. However, disestablishment in 1870 and the church's minority status gave the Church of Ireland a distinctive social and religious flavour.
