William Carlton

Sinopse

In "Going to Maynooth," William Carleton crafts a richly woven narrative that explores the intricate tapestry of Irish rural life in the 19th century. Through a blend of humor and poignant social commentary, Carleton offers readers a keen insight into the struggles and aspirations of the Irish peasantry. The novel is characterized by its vivid descriptions and authentic dialects, reflecting the author's commitment to capturing the essence of Irish culture during a tumultuous period marked by the tensions of nationalism and religious identity, particularly in the context of the Maynooth seminary debates. William Carleton, born into a peasant family in County Tyrone, drew from his own experiences and observations of rural existence, which deeply informed his writing. His background steeped in the challenges and triumphs of Irish life, coupled with his personal encounters with clergy and educational institutions, profoundly influenced his portrayal of social issues, particularly the role of education in shaping individual and community destinies. Carleton's works were often steeped in the complex interplay of sectarianism and local traditions, positioning him as a pivotal figure in Irish literature. "Going to Maynooth" is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of education, religion, and social dynamics in Ireland. It offers both historical insight and relatable themes of ambition and identity, making it a compelling choice for readers seeking to understand the nuances of Irish literature and the cultural landscape of the time.

George Herbert Mead on Social...

George Herbert Mead, Anselm Strauss

One of the most brilliantly original of American pragmatists, George Herbert Mead published surprisingly few major papers and not a single book during his lifetime. Yet his influence on American sociology and social psychology since World War II has been exceedingly strong. 
 
This volume is a revised and enlarged edition of the book formerly published under the title The Social Psychology of George Herbert Mead. It contains selections from Mead’s posthumous books: Mind, Self, and Society; Movements of Thought in the Nineteenth Century; The Philosophy of the Act; and The Philosophy of the Present, together with an incisive, newly revised, introductory essay by Anselm Strauss on the importance of Mead for contemporary social psychology. 
 
“Required reading for the social scientist.”—Milton L. Barron, Nation

21st-Century Yokel

Tom Cox

Thick with owls and badgers, oak trees and wood piles, scarecrows and ghosts, and Tom Cox's loud and excitable dad, this book is full of the folklore of several counties the ancient kind and the everyday variety as well as wild places, mystical spots and curious objects. Emerging from this focus on the detail are themes that are broader and bigger and more important than ever.
Tom's writing treads a new path, one that has a lot in common with a rambling country walk; it's bewitched by fresh air and big skies, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless and prone to a few detours, but it always reaches its destination in the end.
