The Irish Brandy Houses of Eighteenth-Century France ✓ In Stock

The Irish traders in beef and butter who settled in the Charente area moved on to the rapidly growing brandy trade by the mid-eighteenth century. As global demand for brandy grew with urbanization and economic welfare, so did new markets develop for those families with contacts in Dublin and France’s western seaboard. The struggles of families such as Hennessy, Saule and Jennings, Otard, Galwey and Delamain are described in the pivotal period 1760-1793, when Ireland ‘fleetingly became the central point of the international brandy business’. Family connections and intermarriage, trading problems, marketing and finance are detailed by Professor Cullen, against the background of a burgeoning French economy. This regional specialization by foreign merchants who went on to became household Irish brandy houses is a fascinating study by Ireland’s leading economic historian.

Ireland and the Atlantic Heritage ✓ In Stock

Henry Glassie, in his Foreword, describes Estyn Evans, the great geographer-historian of Belfast, as ‘one in a tiny aristocracy of the mind who created the intellectual world we inhabit and whose writings will inspire scholars yet unborn’. This is manifest in the depth of knowledge and in the exhilarating grasp of detail and method to be found in Ireland and the Atlantic Heritage. A biographical memoir by Gwyneth Evans introduces the man and the work. Part I concerns the island of Ireland – its habitat and history, the relationship of the land to its occupants, the shaping of a country and its consciousness. Part II positions Ireland between the Old and New Worlds and contains Evans’ pioneering essays on the pastoral experience of Atlantic Europe, the Pyrenees, the Scotch-Irish of North America. Part III focuses on Evans’ beloved Ulster and its people: from Rathlin Island, Fair Head, Lammas Fair and Belfast, to the Mournes and Slieve Gullion. Part IV sketches with vivid particularity the folk customs and material culture of the province: harvest rituals; fields, fences and gates; the game of bullets in County Down; the observance of time; bird-song; and a tale from south-west Donegal. Part V includes affectionate pen-portraits of friends and colleagues in both academe and the countryside – John Clarke (‘the potato king’), Geordie Barnett, Maisie Gaffikin, Rory de Valera, Adolf Mahr – as well as lighter, humorous pieces.Finally the Epilogue by John Campbell, with an accompanying bibliography, appraises and documents Evans’ contribution to modern scholarship. Photographs and pen-and-ink drawings by the author illustrate the text. Like Lloyd Praeger, Carl Sauer and Fernand Braudel before him, Estyn Evans is one of the inspirational figures in the landscape of Irish and European studies. Lucid, witty, innovative and holistic, these selected writings testify to his enduring relevance in the late twentieth century.
