'Tinkers' by Mary Burke Pdf
The history of Irish Travellers is not analogous to that of the 'tinker', a Europe-wide underworld fantasy created by sixteenth-century British and continental Rogue Literature that came to be seen as an Irish character alone as English became dominant in Ireland. By the Revival, the tinker represented bohemian, pre-Celtic aboriginality, functioning as the cultural nationalist counter to the Victorian Gypsy mania. Long misunderstood as a portrayal of actual Travellers, J.M. Synge's influential The Tinker's Wedding was pivotal to this 'Irishing' of the tinker, even as it acknowledged that figure's cosmopolitan textual roots. Synge's empathetic depiction is closely examined, as are the many subsequent representations that looked to him as a model to subvert or emulate. In contrast to their Revival-era romanticization, post-independence writing portrayed tinkers as alien interlopers, while contemporaneous Unionists labelled them a contaminant from the hostile South. However, after Travellers politicized in the 1960s, more even-handed depictions heralded a querying of the 'tinker' fantasy that has shaped contemporary screen and literary representations of Travellers and has prompted Traveller writers to transubstantiate Otherness into the empowering rhetoric of ethnic difference. Though its Irish equivalent has oscillated between idealization and demonization, US racial history facilitates the cinematic figuring of the Irish-American Traveler as lovable 'white trash' rogue. This process is informed by the mythology of a population with whom Travelers are allied in the white American imagination, the Scots-Irish (Ulster-Scots). In short, the 'tinker' is much more central to Irish, Northern Irish and even Irish-American identity than is currently recognised.

Mad Tinker's Daughter by J.S. Morin Pdf
It isn't the Human Rebellion yet. Someone needs to invent it. Rynn scrubs floors at the university to eavesdrop on lectures. In a just world, she would be free to attend those classes. But in Korr, humans are the working class: the serfs, the slaves, and the underpaid freemen who keep the gears turning for their kuduk overlords. Not every human is content letting their lives be spent for the kuduks’ ease, and some have started fighting back. Rynn will have to use her stolen technical knowledge, her wits, and all the bravery she and her friends can muster to win the freedom that mankind deserves. She’s seen what mankind is capable of… In her dreams, she lives another life, in another world where humans control their own destiny. She’s willing to die if that’s what it takes to bring that same freedom to Korr. Cadmus Errol, the Mad Tinker, is the greatest inventor Tellurak has ever known. Ever since learning of the link between Tellurak and Korr, he has worked to bring about the downfall of the kuduks. Finding and recruiting others who can see both worlds, he has built the foundation of a world-spanning empire. In secret, he has been working under the noses of the kuduk people, slowly laying a trap that will end the war before it begins. He sold his freedom to gain access to the mechanical wonders of his master’s workshop, and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect his daughter. But the Mad Tinker has a problem. He trained perhaps a greater inventor than himself. He showed her a world where humans can accomplish anything, and taught her that she can do anything she put her mind to. And now Rynn is looking for payback, and she isn’t waiting to find out what her father’s secret plan might be. Mad Tinker’s Daughter is the fourth book in the Twinborn Chronicles, first of the War of 3 Worldsstory, an epic fantasy series with multiple point of view characters. If you love steampunk gadgetry, heroes who get their hands dirty, and a DIY heroine, Mad Tinker’s Daughter is for you! Pick up your copy of Mad Tinker’s Daughter, and join the rebellion!

Delko and his companions escaped the Monastery of Fordosheol, having conquered Archbishop Haridan and his evil minions. Now they must face a more dastardly foe: Despot, the son of Archbishop Haridan. Despot plans to steal the last of the four keys that will open one of the Emerald Doors, which provides entrance into the forbidden lands of the Elemental Dragons. Thestral has been dwelling in the underworld for over two thousand years awaiting his rebirth. Despot magically impregnates Princess Adi, who gives birth to Thestral. Thestral will even sacrifice his mother to release the creatures from the dark abyss, so he can conquer the Cave Dwarfs, annihilate the Elf Queendom, and steal the last of the four keys from the Druids to help his father Despot open an Emerald Door. Despot and Humford, a previous governor for the School of Dark Magic, create an alliance with the mother of the underworld, Saligia, who will unleash each of her seven children to create havoc and devastation among the nine dwarf clans, reducing their ability to aid the Druids, the Elf Queendom, and the Cave Dwarfs.

The "tinkers" in Irish Literature by José Lanters Pdf
Irish travellers or 'tinkers' have appeared as characters in Irish literature since the early nineteenth century. Representations of this semi-nomadic cultural and ethnic minority in works by non-traveller authors almost invariably function in some way within the context of Irish identity politics, whereby the 'tinker' often serves as a 'primitive' Other to a modern, civilized Irish Self. This study considers the 'tinker' character in a large body of serious and popular literary texts, some well known, others rarely if ever discussed, and traces how the literary construct of the 'tinker' figure as domestic or foreign Other evolves over time. Three chapters concentrate on specific historical contexts, as the 'tinker' shifts from being a relatively straightforward scapegoat in the literature of the early nineteenth century, to being a more complex and ambiguous embodiment of both the aspirations and anxieties of the Anglo-Irish writers of the Revival, to being a barometer of aspects of modernity and regression in the mid-twentieth-century Irish Republic. Three further chapters focus on thematic contexts that have particular relevance for the development of the 'tinker' figure: children's literature from and about Ireland; fabulist narratives, particularly those with plot configurations derived from Celtic mythology; and crime and detective fiction set in Ireland. Finally the way in which individual travellers represent themselves in autobiographical narratives of the late twentieth century is considered, often in response to the fictional 'tinker' stereotype that has persisted in sedentary society and its cultural expressions for centuries.
