Cinnlae Amhlaoibh Uí Shúileabháin: The Diary of Humphrey O'sullivan Part III ✓ In Stock

containing the Diary from 1st January, 1831 to the end of December 1833 Michael McGrath (foilsithe den chéad uair / first published 1937) xvi + 272 pp. ISBN 1 870 16632 9 Written from January 1827 to July 1835, the diary of Amhlaoibh Ó Súilleabháin of Callan, County Kilkenny, has been described as one of the most significant non-imaginative Irish prose writings of the nineteenth century. It is certainly an extremely valuable source of information on the manners and customs of the ordinary people of the period. Tomás de Bhaldraithe noted: 'the struggle for Catholic Emancipation, the Tithe War, the secret societies, evictions, famine and cholera plagues...are frequently mentioned in the diary. [He] gives regular accounts of markets, prices and wages. He mentions many festival customs, games, sports meetings, patterns, wakes, dances, dinner parties et cetera, in addition to his daily notes on the weather, the crops, bird, animal and plant life, which were among his principal interests'. Father McGrath's four volumes, which represent the standard edition of the diary, were made the subject of the Society's annual seminar, held in conjunction with the Irish Departments at UCC in 2003. The proceedings of the seminar have since been edited by Liam P. Ó Murchú in Subsidiary Series No. 14. Concluding his contribution to the seminar, Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh described the Cínn Lae as a 'remarkable document', which offers us an invaluable insight into the mentalité of the historically conscious Catholic bourgeoisie during what was the crucial decade of its emergence.

Foras Feasa Ar Éirinn - The History of Ireland By Geoffrey Keating D.D. Vol II ✓ In Stock

xxxvi + 426 pp. ISBN 1 870 16608 6 This work, written by the Tipperary priest, Geoffrey Keating (Seathrún Céitinn), between c 1618 and 1634, has been described as 'the most influential of all works of Gaelic historiography'. Drawing upon the annals, Lebor Gabála, and the various story cycles of early Irish literature, Keating provided an account of the history of Ireland from the earliest times to the coming of the Normans, an event which marked the beginning of the presence of his own people on the island. Keating set the standard for Early Modern Irish prose and, in the early days of the Gaelic League, there were some who advocated the adoption of his style as the standard of Modern Irish. In his foreword to the 1987 reprint of these volumes, Breandán Ó Buachalla wrote: 'Not only did Keating successfully assimilate in one continuous narrative the various strata and components of traditional lore ..., but he masterfully recast that narrative in an intelligible modern idiom.' This volume contains Brendán Ó Buachalla's new introduction (1987).
