Paperback. Condition: New. Winner of the Whitfield Book Prize 2020On 4 August 1914 following the outbreak of European hostilities, large sections of Irish Protestants and Catholics rallied to support the British and Allied war efforts. Yet less than two years later, the Easter Rising of 1916 allegedly put a stop to the Catholic commitment in exchange for a re-emphasis on the national question.In Ireland and the Great War Niamh Gallagher draws upon a formidable array of original research to offer a radical new reading of Irish involvement in the world's first total war. Exploring the 'home front' and Irish diasporic communities in Canada, Australia, and Britain, Gallagher reveals that substantial support for the Allied war effort continued largely unabated not only until November 1918, but afterwards as well. Rich in social texture and with fascinating new case studies of Irish participation in the conflict, this book has the makings of a major rethinking of Ireland's twentieth century.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Irish Revolution was a pivotal moment of transition for Ireland, the United Kingdom, and British Empire. A constitutional crisis that crystallised in 1912 electrified opinion in Ireland whilst dividing politics at Westminster. Instead of settling these differences, the advent of the First World War led to the emergence of new antagonisms. Republican insurrection was followed by a struggle for independence along with the partition of the island. This volume assembles some of the key contributions to the intellectual debates that took place in the midst of these changes and displays the vital ideas developed by the men and women who made the Irish Revolution, as well as those who opposed it. Through these fundamental texts, we see Irish experiences in comparative European and international contexts, and how the revolution challenged the durability of Britain as a global power.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Das mittelalterliche Rheinland zwischen Köln und Koblenz - eine Landschaft aus Schieferfelsen, strömenden Wassern und uralten Legenden. In 'Zwischen den Welten: Magisches Rheinland 900-1400' entführt Niamh Gallagher ihre Leser in fünf Jahrhunderte einer Region, in der die Grenze zwischen dem Greifbaren und dem Übernatürlichen nie ganz klar gezogen wurde.Im Mittelpunkt dieses außergewöhnlichen Werkes stehen Menschen, die mit dem Rhein mehr verbindet als nur den alltäglichen Lebensunterhalt: ein Fährmann, der seit Generationen über das Wasser herrscht und einen dunklen Pakt mit dem Fluss selbst geschlossen hat; eine Hebamme aus Bacharach, die zwischen Heilwissen und Hexerei wandelt; ein Mönch, der in der Stille seines Skriptoriums auf Zeichen stößt, die keine Schrift der Menschen kennt. Jede Geschichte ist ein Mosaikteil eines größeren Bildes - das einer Welt, in der das Magische nicht Spektakel ist, sondern stilles Einvernehmen, tägliches Geraune, Preis und Versprechen zugleich.Gallaghers Sprache ist von bestechender Dichte und Präzision. Ihre Prosa atmet den Rhythmus des Flusses selbst: mal ruhig, mal reißend, immer mit dem Bewusstsein, dass unter der Oberfläche etwas wartet. Die Figuren sind keine Helden im epischen Sinne - sie sind Menschen, die Entscheidungen treffen, ohne ihre Tragweite zu kennen, und die mit den Folgen leben, manchmal über Jahrhunderte hinweg.Besonders bemerkenswert ist die historische Verwurzelung des Bandes: Mittelalterliche Alltagskultur, kirchliches Leben, Handelsrouten und Volksglauben am Rhein werden mit feinem Gespür eingeflochten, ohne den literarischen Fluss zu unterbrechen. 'Zwischen den Welten' ist gleichzeitig historische Fiktion, atmosphärisches Phantastikwerk und eine tiefe Meditation über Schuld, Erinnerung und den Preis des Überlebens.Ein Buch für alle, die das Mittelalter nicht als Kulisse, sondern als lebendigen Raum erleben wollen.…
