Charms, Charmers and Charming in Ireland by John Carey,Ciarán Ó Gealbháin,Ilona Tuomi,Barbara Hillers Pdf
This is the first book to examine the full range of the evidence for Irish charms, from medieval to modern times. As Ireland has one of the oldest literatures in Europe, and also one of the most comprehensively recorded folklore traditions, it affords a uniquely rich body of evidence for such an investigation. The collection includes surveys of broad aspects of the subject (charm scholarship, charms in medieval tales, modern narrative charms, nineteenth-century charm documentation); dossiers of the evidence for specific charms (a headache charm, a nightmare charm, charms against bleeding); a study comparing the curses of saints with those of poets; and an account of a newly discovered manuscript of a toothache charm. The practices of a contemporary healer are described on the basis of recent fieldwork, and the connection between charms and storytelling is foregrounded in chapters on the textual amulet known as the Leabhar Eoin, on the belief that witches steal butter, and on the nature of the belief that effects supernatural cures.
'And so began the Irish Nation' by Brendan Bradshaw Pdf
Nationalism is a particularly slippery subject to define and understand, particularly when applied to early modern Europe. In this collection of essays, Brendan Bradshaw provides an insight into how concepts of ’nationalism’ and ’national identity’ can be understood and applied to pre-modern Ireland. Drawing upon a selection of his most provocative and pioneering essays, together with three entirely new pieces, the limits and contexts of Irish nationalism are explored and its impact on both early modern society and later generations, examined. The collection reflects especially upon the emergence of national consciousness in Ireland during a calamitous period when the late-medieval, undeveloped sense of a collective identity became suffused with patriotic sentiment and acquired a political edge bound up with notions of national sovereignty and representative self-government. The volume opens with a discussion of the historical methods employed, and an extended introductory essay tracing the history of national consciousness in Ireland from its first beginnings as recorded in the poetry of the early Christian Church to its early-modern flowering, which provides the context for the case studies addressed in the subsequent chapters. These range across a wealth of subjects, including comparisons of Tudor Wales and Ireland, Irish reactions to the ’Westward Enterprise’, the Ulster Rising of 1641, the Elizabethans and the Irish, and the two sieges of Limerick. The volume concludes with a transcription and discussion of ’A Treatise for the Reformation of Ireland, 1554-5’. The result of a lifetime’s study, this volume offers a rich and rewarding journey through a turbulent yet fascinating period of Irish history, not only illuminating political and religious developments within Ireland, but also how these affected events across the British Isles and beyond.
The publication of this book is a celebration of the achievements of all the National University of Ireland's 'travelling students'. Collectively the Studentship winners constitute a remarkable testament to the importance of the Travelling Studentship Scheme and to their own achievements. The contributions in A Century of Scholarship reveal a fascinating diversity, through the broad spectrum of disciplines and descriptions of venues around the world, but especially Great Britain, continental Europe, United States and Canada. It also provides personal views of life after the Studentship - the illustrious careers, the returns to Ireland, and the learned 'diaspora' in universities, hospitals and financial institutions overseas. The book highlights the federal dimension of the National University of Ireland in that the body of travelling students represents the four Constituent Universities at Dublin, Cork, Galway and Maynooth. In their outstanding achievements, both academic and professional, the travelling students are worthy ambassadors of the National University of Ireland. A Century of Scholarship will be a source of pride for anyone who has won a Travelling Studentship or Prize; for others it will provide a glimpse into the lives and accomplishments of the recipients, and a valuable and permanent historical record of the National University of Ireland's longest-running award scheme.
This small volume aims to present the main themes of the early Irish church in an accessible manner to the scholar and the uninitiated alike. Carey avoids technical terms and effectively illustrates how the peculiarities and mysteries of Irish Christianity enriched the rest of Christendom. Second edition.
