Summary

In "About Ireland," E. Lynn Linton presents a rich tapestry of insights and observations that capture the essence of Irish life in the late 19th century. The book is notable for its blend of travel writing and social commentary, employing a keenly observant narrative style that invites readers into the heart of Ireland's cultural landscape. Linton deftly examines various facets of Irish society, from its landscapes and folklore to its political nuances, all while embedding her personal experiences as an English visitor, thereby challenging preconceived notions and providing a nuanced perspective on the Irish identity amid contemporary socio-political dynamics. E. Lynn Linton was a prominent novelist and essayist whose life experiences significantly influenced her work. Born in England and living in a period marked by the complexities of British-Irish relations, her interactions with Irish culture and her evolution as a literary voice helped shape her understanding of national character and belonging. Linton's broader literary career reflects her commitment to exploring themes of gender, social convention, and nationality, which are intricately interwoven into the fabric of "About Ireland." This compelling exploration is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of travel, culture, and literature. Linton's articulate prose and incisive reflections not only enlighten the reader about Ireland's multifaceted identity but also spark a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experience across borders. Readers will find themselves both informed and engaged, making Linton's work a valuable contribution to Irish studies and travel literature.

    “Therefore, faithful Christian, seek the truth, listen to the truth, learn the truth, love the truth, tell the truth, learn the truth, defend the truth even to death.” – Jan Hus 
If John Wycliffe was the “Morning Star of the Reformation,” Jan Hus was the Guiding Star of the movement. Hus started as a Czech priest, but he quickly became notorious for debating several Church doctrines such as the Eucharist, Church ecclesiology, and many more topics. Today, he is viewed as a predecessor of the Lutherans, but the Church viewed him as a threat, and the Catholics eventually engaged Hus’ followers (known as Hussites) in several battles in the early 15th century. Hus himself was burned at the stake in 1415, but his followers fought on in a series of battles known as the Hussite Wars, and Czechoslovakia’s inhabitants by and large remained Hussite afterward. About 100 years later, Martin Luther would spark the Reformation across the continents. 
 Jan Hus: The Life and Legacy of the Christian Theologian Executed for Heresy Before the Reformation chronicles the reformer’s life and teachings, and the influence he had in the wake of his death. Along with pictures of important people and places, you will learn about Hus like never before.

    Feeling Their Pain - Why Voters...

    The 2020 presidential election in the United States marked, for many, a return to "compassionate politics." Joe Biden had run on a platform of empathy, emphasizing his personal history as a means of connecting with everyone, from American workers who had lost jobs to military families who had lost loved ones. Although perceptions of candidate compassion are broadly understood to influence vote choice, less understood is the question of how candidates convince voters they truly "care about people like them." In Feeling their Pain, Jared McDonald provides a framework for understanding why voters view some politicians as more compassionate than others. 
 
 
 
McDonald shows that perceptions of compassion in candidates for public office are based on the number and intensity of commonalities that bind citizens to political leaders. Commonalities can come in many forms, such as a shared experience, a shared emotion, or a shared identity. Compassion may be universal, such as when candidates convey empathy to all individuals who are struggling. Or compassion may be exclusionary, such as when candidates express a preference for some groups over others. Thus, the way campaigns choose to wield compassion in their messaging strategies has important implications not only for election outcomes, but for American political polarization as well.

    Cindy Savett’s The Breath is a riveting meditation on grief and resilience. Savett’s vivid, resonant poems create a language for renewal out of the urgent “phantom tongue” of loss. The Breath casts an honest, empathetic eye on the grief process, leading us, achingly, “into the stable of vanished gods” and encouraging us to “pace / within the flame” of absence--to reimagine loss as a transformative practice that can redeem the “hush / left behind.” 
 --Tony Trigilio, author of The Complete Dark Shadows (of My Childhood), Book 1
