Eyewitness to Irish history

Author:	Peter Berresford Ellis
Publisher:	Hoboken, N.J. : John Wiley & Sons, ©2004.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"A unique documentary history of Irish civilization from ancient times to the present, Eyewitness to Irish History draws upon original source materials to capture the tumultuous events and distinctive texture of Irish history like no other book. Comparing the readings compiled here to snapshots, the renowned Celtic scholar Peter Berresford Ellis offers what, in essence, is a family photo album of Ireland and the Irish people - beginning with Golamh, the legendary leader of the band of Iberian Celts who settled the island more than three thousand years ago, as told in the Lebor Gabala Erenn, or Book of Invasions, and concluding with gripping firsthand accounts by those on both sides of the bloody civil conflict in Northern Ireland.". "From the codification of the Irish laws by the poet Ollamh Fodhla in the eighth century B.C.E. to the defeat of the Vikings by High King Brian Boiroihme in 1014 C.E., from the English Tudor conquests of the sixteenth century to the Easter Uprising of 1916 and the subsequent establishment of the Irish Free State, virtually every major event is covered here in texts ranging from ancient forsundun (praise songs) and the hero kings to newspaper accounts, public decrees, and even graffiti. At the same time, you'll find vivid portraits of everyday life in Ireland throughout the centuries as chronicled in everything from St. Patrick's confessions to heartrending accounts of the famine of 1848 to the letters, diaries, and memoirs of a vast and multifarious array of authors."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
