Book Description
An illustrated guide for use by those researching the history of country houses and estates. The book begins by describing the resources available to the researcher in record offices and libraries tracing the rise and decline of the country house from the 16th century to the present day. Aristocracy and landownership, the development of a house and its landscape, the exploitation of mineral wealth, the effects of the industrial revolution and life both above and below stairs are some of the topics covered. Each of the chapters highlights the source material most relevant to its theme whether it is wills, maps, surveys, bills, diaries or letters.

Book Description
This book is about the role that the imperfect, the disquieting and the dystopian are currently playing in the construction of Irish identities. All the essays assess identity issues that require urgent examination, problematize canonical definitions of Irishness and, above all, look at the ways in which the artistic output of the country has been altered by the Celtic Tiger phenomenon and its subsequent demise. Recent narrative from Ireland, principally published in the twenty-first century and/or at the end of the 1990s, is dealt with extensively. The authors examined include Eavan Boland, Mary Rose Callaghan, Peter Cunningham, Emma Donoghue, Anne Enright, Emer Martin, Lia Mills, Paul Muldoon, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Bernard O’Donoghue, Peter Sirr and David Wheatley.
