Описание: This book considers the cultural residue frompre-Christian Ireland in Synge’s plays and performances. By dramatising a residualculture in front of a predominantly modern and political Irish Catholic middleclass audience, the book argues that Synge attempted to offer an alternativeunderstanding of what it meant to be “modern” at the beginning of the twentiethcentury. The book draws extensively on Synge’s archive to demonstrate howpre-Christian residual culture informed not just how he wrote and stagedpre-Christian beliefs, but also how he thought about an older, almost forgottenculture that Catholic Ireland desperately wanted to forget. Each of Synge’s playsis considered in an individual chapter, and they identify how Synge’s dramaturgywas informed by pre-Christian beliefs of animism, pantheism, folklore, superstitionand magical ritual.

Описание: Between the late 1890s and the early 1900s, the young Irish writer John Millington Synge journeyed across his home country, documenting his travels intermittently for ten years. His body of travel writing includes the travel book The Aran Islands, his literary journalism about West Kerry and Wicklow published in various periodicals, and his articles for the Manchester Guardian about rural poverty in Connemara and Mayo. Although Synge’s nonfiction is often considered of minor weight compared with his drama, Bruna argues persuasively that his travel narratives are instances of a pioneering ethnographic and journalistic imagination. J. M. Synge and Travel Writing of the Irish Revival is the first comprehensive study of Synge’s travel writing about Ireland, compiled during the zeitgeist of the preindependence Revival movement. Bruna argues that Synge’s nonfiction subverts inherited modes of travel writing that put an emphasis on Empire and Nation. Synge’s writing challenges these grand narratives by expressing a more complex idea of Irishness grounded in his empathetic observation of the local rural communities he traveled amongst. Drawing from critically neglected revivalist travel literature, newspapers and periodicals, and visual and archival documents, Bruna sketches a new portrait of a seminal Irish Literary Renaissance figure and sheds new light on the itineraries of activism and literary engagement of the broader Revival movement.
Описание: The British Isles and Ireland tested the self-proclaimed adaptability and flexibility of the new Society of Jesus. A mission to Ireland highlighted the complexities and ended in failure in the early 1580s, not to be revived until 1598. The fabled Jesuit mission to England in 1580 conceived in wistful optimism was baptized with blood with the execution of Edmund Campion in 1581 and the consequent political manoeuveres of Robert Persons. The Scottish mission began in December 1581. The three missions remained distinct in the pre-suppression period despite an occasional proposal for integration. The English mission was the largest, the bloodiest, the most controversial, and the only one to progress to full provincial status. The government tried to suppress it; the Benedictines tried to complement it; the vicars-apostolic tried to control it; and foreign Jesuits tried to recognize it. Nonetheless, the English province forged a corporate identity that even withstood the suppression.

Описание: George Bernard Shaw has always been regarded as a political provocateur and socialist with ideas that reflected a complicated public philosophy. Scholarship abounds on Shaw’s politics, but Nelson Ritschel’s compelling study is the first to explore how Shaw’s presence in Irish radical debate manifested itself not only through his direct contributions but also through the way he and his efforts were engaged by others--most notably by the socially liberal dramatist J. M. Synge and the socialist agitator James Connolly.<br><br> Looking closely at such works as <em>In the Shadow of the Glen, John Bull’s Other Island, Playboy of the Western World</em>, and <em>O’Flaherty, V.C. </em>, Ritschel opens an important door on the hidden dialogue between these men. The result is a gripping, even suspenseful, narrative of the intellectual march to the Easter Uprising of 1916.

Описание: Synge was the victim of a cruel paradox: those who loved his works knew no Irish and those who loved Irish despised his works. `A magistirial study of Synge`s language and of his imaginative engagement with Gaelic traditions`- Irish Independent `A devoted, accessible and scholarly book` - Literary Review
John Millington Synge, a leading figure in the Irish literary renaissance and one of Ireland's most celebrated writers, powerfully and poetically describes the harsh rural life on the West Coast of Ireland in his six plays:
In the Shadow of the Glen
Riders to the Sea
The Well of the Saints
The Playboy of the Western World
The Tinker's Wedding
Deirdre of the Sorrows.
The collected plays is the perfect way to appreciate Synge's powerful passionate drama.

Название: Ireland and the Reception of the Bible ISBN: 0567692507 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567692504 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 5384.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: Drawing on the work of leading figures in biblical, religious, historical, and cultural studies in Ireland and beyond, this volume explores the reception of the Bible in Ireland, focusing on the social and cultural dimensions of such use of the Bible. This includes the transmission of the Bible, the Bible and identity formation, engagement beyond Ireland, and cultural and artistic appropriation of the Bible. The chapters collected here are particularly useful and insightful for those researching the use and reception of the Bible, as well as those with broader interests in social and cultural dimensions of Irish history and Irish studies.
The chapters challenge the perception in the minds of many that the Bible is a static book with a fixed place in the world that can be relegated to ecclesial contexts and perhaps academic study. Rather, as this book shows, the role of the Bible in the world is much more complex. Nowhere is this clearer than in Ireland, with its rich and complex religious, cultural, and social history. This volume examines these very issues, highlighting the varied ways in which the Bible has impacted Irish life and society, as well as the ways in which the cultural specificity of Ireland has impacted the use and development of the Bible both in Ireland and further afield.
