Autor: Leigh Morgan

Daisy Bennett left home on her eighteenth birthday, leaving Magnus Alexander at the altar knowing that he’d been trapped into a marriage he didn’t want.

She’s on the verge of becoming the youngest Celtic artifact finder in the history of the Scottish Damselfly Society. She no longer needs Magnus, but she still wants him. Magnus Alexander, jewelry designer, metal smith, and clandestine protector of Celtic artifacts, regrets having lost Daisy because of the cruel things he said to her on the morning of their wedding. Now Magnus wants her back in his life. His new assignment, protecting Daisy as she hunts for the legendary Druid’s Scroll in Argyll, Scotland, will give him that opportunity. There is a very real adversary willing to kill for the sacred Druid's Scroll. Will Magnus help Daisy defend her destiny and take her rightful place within the Damselfly Society? Can Daisy and Magnus find their way back to one another after a decade apart? Or, will they both die trying?

Active Speech

Autor: Úna Kealy , Kate Mccarthy

Número de Páginas: 217

'Active Speech' is a groundbreaking collection of scholarly essays and practitioner interviews focused on the work of Irish playwright Teresa Deevy. Acts of recovery in the 1980s and 1990s challenged Deevy’s exclusion from the literary canon, reclaiming her contributions as significant to Irish drama and theatre. The recent resurgence of scholarship and productions evidences that, as a deafened woman and Irish playwright, Deevy’s creative power continues to disrupt and tilt the canon of Irish drama, theatre, and performance. Essays within the collection explore how Deevy’s work interrogates early to mid-twentieth century Irish social norms and ideologies and provide a rich context for understanding her plays. The collection highlights the interdisciplinary nature of research on Deevy and offers insights on her work through archival research, literary analysis, and practitioner perspectives from Deaf and hearing theatremakers. One of the collection's strengths lies in its collaborative and inclusive approach, showcasing diverse methodologies and rigorous scholarship. The chapters on archival research and practitioner perspectives offer compelling models and avenues for future ...

Ethnolinguistic Prehistory

Autor: George L. Van Driem

Número de Páginas: 414

This volume provides the most up-to-date and holistic but compact account of the peopling of the world from the perspective of language, genes and material culture, presenting a view from the Himalayas. The phylogeny of language families, the chronology of branching of linguistic family trees and the historical and modern geographical distribution of language communities inform us about the spread of languages and linguistic phyla. The global distribution and the chronology of spread of Y chromosomal haplogroups appears closely correlated with the spread of language families. New findings on ancient DNA have greatly enhanced our understanding of the prehistory and provenance of our biological ancestors. The archaeological study of past material cultures provides yet a third independent window onto the complex prehistory of our species.

Revolutionary Lives

Autor: Lauren Arrington

Número de Páginas: 308

Constance Markievicz (1868–1927), born to the privileged Protestant upper class in Ireland, embraced suffrage before scandalously leaving for a bohemian life in London and then Paris. She would become known for her roles as politician and Irish revolutionary nationalist. Her husband, Casimir Dunin Markievicz (1874–1932), a painter, playwright, and theater director, was a Polish noble who would eventually join the Russian imperial army to fight on behalf of Polish freedom during World War I. Revolutionary Lives offers the first dual biography of these two prominent European activists and artists. Tracing the Markieviczes' entwined and impassioned trajectories, biographer Lauren Arrington sheds light on the avant-garde cultures of London, Paris, and Dublin, and the rise of anti-imperialism at the turn of the twentieth century. Drawing from new archival material, including previously untranslated newspaper articles, Arrington explores the interests and concerns of Europeans invested in suffrage, socialism, and nationhood. Unlike previous works, Arrington's book brings Casimir Markievicz into the foreground of the story and explains how his liberal imperialism and his wife's...

Un moderne à rebours : Biographie intellectuelle et ...

Autor: Jonathan Livernois

Número de Páginas: 370

Pierre Vadeboncoeur (1920-2010) est reconnu comme l’un des maîtres de l’essai au Québec. Pour la première fois, son parcours intellectuel et artistique fait ici l’objet d’une synthèse. On pourrait tout aussi bien parler d’une biographie, dans la mesure où le lecteur découvrira la vie d’un homme qui a su concilier le syndicalisme et la littérature pendant les deux derniers tiers du XXe siècle québécois, période dont cet ouvrage offre aussi un portrait particulièrement éclairant. Le rapport au passé de Pierre Vadeboncoeur, auquel Un moderne à rebours accorde une place importante, permettra de comprendre comment l’écriture de l’homme a résisté et résiste encore aux vents dominants du cynisme, de la démission politique et de la compromission artistique. Il y a dans cette œuvre quelque chose d’exemplaire.

che abbiamo in tasca?

J. M. Synge

Autor: Seán Hewitt

Número de Páginas: 256

This book is a complete re-assessment of the works of J.M. Synge, one of Ireland's major playwrights. The book offers the first complete consideration of all of Synge's major plays and prose works in nearly 30 years, drawing on extensive archival research to offer innovative new readings. Much work has been done in recent years to uncover Synge's modernity and to emphasise his political consciousness. This book builds on this re-assessment, undertaking a full systematic exploration of Synge's published and unpublished works. Tracing his journey from an early Romanticism through to the more combative modernism of his later work, the book's innovative methodology treats text as process, and considers Synge's reading materials, his drafts, letters, diaries, and journalism, turning up exciting and unexpected revelations. Thus, Synge's engagement with occultism, pantheism, socialism, Darwinism, and even a late reaction against eugenic nationalisms, are all brought into the critical discussion. Breaking new ground in ascertaining the tenets of Synge's spirituality, and his aesthetic and political idealization of harmony with nature, the book also builds on new work in modernist studies, ...

The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Irish Theatre and Performance

Autor: Eamonn Jordan , Eric Weitz

Número de Páginas: 862

This Handbook offers a multiform sweep of theoretical, historical, practical and personal glimpses into a landscape roughly characterised as contemporary Irish theatre and performance. Bringing together a spectrum of voices and sensibilities in each of its four sections — Histories, Close-ups, Interfaces, and Reflections — it casts its gaze back across the past sixty years or so to recall, analyse, and assess the recent legacy of theatre and performance on this island. While offering information, overviews and reflections of current thought across its chapters, this book will serve most handily as food for thought and a springboard for curiosity. Offering something different in its mix of themes and perspectives, so that previously unexamined surfaces might come to light individually and in conjunction with other essays, it is a wide-ranging and indispensable resource in Irish theatre studies.

Cartographies of Empire

Autor: Myka Tucker-abramson

Número de Páginas: 308

The road novel is often dismissed as a mundane, nostalgic genre: Jack, Sal, and other tedious white men on the road trying to recapture an authentic youth and American past that never existed. Yet, new road novels appear every year, tackling unexpected questions and spanning new geographies, from Mexico, Brazil, Bulgaria, Palestine, Ukraine, and former-Yugoslavia. Why did the road novel emerge and why does it persist? What does it do and why has it traveled so widely? Myka Tucker-Abramson draws from an archive of more than 140 global road novels from over twenty countries, challenging dominant conceptions of the road novel as primarily concerned with American experiences and subjectivities. Grounding her analysis in materialist theories of genre, world-ecology and commodity frontier frameworks, and post-45 American literary studies, Tucker-Abramson persuasively argues that the road novel is a genre specific to, coterminous with, and revealing of US hegemony's global trajectory. Shifting our focus from Americanness to the fraught geopolitics of US Empire, from the car to the built environment through which it moves, and from passengers to those left behind, Tucker-Abramson remaps...
