July 1996Das Grab des Webers
by Seumas O'Kelly, Kurt Heinrich Hansen
Seumas O'Kelly, geboren 1881 in Loughrea, gestorben 1918 in Dublin, lebte als Journalist. Die Geschichte, wie Mortimer Hehir, der Weber, unter die Erde kommen soll, ist abenteuerlich genug. Es scheint, als könne sich niemand daran erinnern, wo seine Grabstelle ist. Da wird gleichzeitig eine Geschichte vom Absterben erzählt, eine Geschichte von dem, was sich längst überlebt hat, von einer eingefriedeten Welt weit außerhalb der unseren.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2000Contemporary British poetry and the city
by Peter Barry, Kim Latham
Though poets have always written about cities, the commonest critical categories (pastoral poetry, nature poetry, Romantic poetry, Georgian poetry, etc.) have usually stressed the rural, so that poetry can seem irrelevant to a predominantly urban populati. Explores a range of contemporary poets who visit the 'mean streets' of the contemporary urban scene, seeking the often cacophonous music of what happens here. Poets discussed include: Ken Smith, Iain Sinclair, Roy Fisher, Edwin Morgan, Sean O'Brien, Ciaran Carson, Peter Reading, Matt Simpson, Douglas Houston, Deryn Rees-Jones, Denise Riley, Ken Edwards, Levi Tafari, Aidan Hun, and Robert Hampson. Approaches contemporary poetry within a broad spectrum of personal, social, literary, and cultural concerns. Includes 'loco-specific' chapters, on cities including Hull, Liverpool, London, and Birmingham, with an additional chapter on 'post-industrial' cities such as Belfast, Glasgow and Dundee. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2015Surviving Kinsale
Irish emigration and identity formation in early modern Spain, 1601–40
by Ciaran O'Scea, Joseph Bergin, Penny Roberts, Bill Naphy
In the aftermath of the Battle of Kinsale in 1601 as many as 10,000 Irish emigrated from Ireland to Galicia in the north-west of Spain. Between 1601 and 1608 the brunt of this immigration fell on the city of La Coruña, which became a virtual encampment of starving homeless Irish nobles, soldiers, women, children, elderly and poor. This is the story of that community and how its members adapted to their new circumstances, and how they themselves, their social structures and beliefs were transformed by their immigrant experience. Through an examination of the community across a broad range of social cultural aspects such as family, literacy, material culture, the acquisition of honours, religious sentiment, and social ascent, important new insights into Irish socio-cultural history have been uncovered. ;

Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean
Interdisciplinary perspectives
by Finola O'Kane, Ciarán O'Neill
Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean is a complex and ground-breaking collection of essays. Grounded in history, it integrates perspectives from art historians, architectural and landscape historians, and literary scholars to produce a genuinely interdisciplinary collection that spans from 1620-1830: the high point of European colonialism. By exploring imperial, national and familial relationships from their building blocks of plantation, migration, property and trade, it finds new ways to re-create and question how slavery made the Atlantic world.
