The Disparity of Sacrifice

During the First World War approximately 210,000 Irish men and a much smaller, but significant, number of Irish women served in the British armed forces. All were volunteers and a very high proportion were from Catholic and Nationalist communities. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of Irish recruitment between 1914 and 1918 for the island of Ireland as a whole. It makes extensive use of previously neglected internal British army recruiting returns held at The National Archives, Kew, along with other valuable archival and newspaper sources.There has been a tendency to discount the importance of political factors in Irish recruitment, but this book demonstrates that recruitment campaigns organised under the auspices of the Irish National Volunteers and Ulster Volunteer Force were the earliest and some of the most effective campaigns run throughout the war. The British government conspicuously failed to create an effective recruiting organisation or to mobilise civic society in Ireland. While the military mobilisation which occurred between 1914 and 1918 was the largest in Irish history, British officials persistently characterised it as inadequate, threatening to introduce conscription in 1918.This book also reflects on the disparity of sacrifice between North-East Ulster and the rest of Ireland, urban and rural Ireland, and Ireland and Great Britain.

Wilde, Yeats, Stoker: Great Writers of Ireland

This is a selection of works by three famous Irishmen Oscar Wilde, WB Yeats and Bram Stoker. It includes: The short story by Bram Stoker 'Dracula's Guest' which is thought to be the original opening chapter of his famous novel 'Dracula', three versions of 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' by Wilde (and the original preface by his friend Robert Ross) and the early collection of poetry, 'The Rose' by W. B. Yeats (which includes his famous poem 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree'). There is a general introduction by the writer and actor Tim Dalgleish and other additional material. As the editor writes in the introduction: 'One should think of this little collection as if one, that is you yourself, had just walked into a pub in Dublin: You hand over a few coppers to the landlord and stand sipping your pint of the dark, black stuff. In the corner you spy three eccentric looking characters deep in concentrated conversation. As you make your way over you realise they are telling stories. One is an odd looking fellow, with untidy white hair and pince-nez, he is sonorously declaiming, in a sing-song voice, a tale of mythic, even epic, proportions... this will be a night to remember.'

Three Irish Plays is a collection of three plays by J.M. Synge, a prominent Irish playwright of the early 20th century. The first play, The Land of Heart's Desire, tells the story of a young couple who are visited by fairies in their home in rural Ireland. The second play, The Twisting of the Rope, is a tragic tale of a young man who is falsely accused of stealing a sheep and is executed as a result. The final play, Riders to the Sea, is a haunting portrayal of the lives of a family living on the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland, as they struggle to come to terms with the death of their loved ones at sea. These three plays are considered some of Synge's finest works and are celebrated for their portrayal of Irish culture and the beauty of the Irish landscape.Introduction By Harrison Hale Schaff.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Jägardockan och harpspelaren stirrade med tomma ögon och fäktade runt med sina små händer. En hemsk, knarrande stämma: "Dumma stackare, enfaldiga varelser! Föraktade oss -- nu kan ni sitta där utan leksaker!" Förskräckta rusade barnen därifrån under regnet som strömmade ner, åskknallarna och stormen. Men knappt hade de kommit till den stora dammen, förrän flickans docka reste sig ur vassen och kväkte med förfärlig stämma: ?Dumma stackare, enfaldiga varelser -- nu kan ni sitta där utan leksaker! Vänta bara, vi är magister Tintes lydiga tjänare!? Felix stod inte ut med de förfärliga spökerierna, och arma Christlieb var halvdöd. Då summade och brusade det bakom dem. "Magister Tinte kommer!" skrek Felix Nio fantasifulla, mörka och bitterljuva noveller från gränslandet mellan konstsaga och fantasy. "Som helhet är Främmande folk och förtrollade skogar en njutbart fascinerande läsning som dessutom presenterar och ger utrymme åt den litteratur som genremässigt varken är saga, fantasy eller skräckberättelse utan befinner sig någonstans däremellan." -- Albin Eklund Djurberg i BTJ:s häfte 14106278.
