Peadar O'Dowd's A History of County Galway is an enjoyable, accessible and informative study of Galway's history. A comprehensive book that begins with Galway's geological formation, O'Dowd's study of Ireland's second largest county progresses up to the present day and is the ideal book for anyone interested in the county of the Tribesmen. Galway is the largest county in the province of Connacht, both in area and population. It is divided in two by the great expanse of Lough Corrib, the largest lake in the Republic of Ireland. To the west lies one of the country's most scenic areas, the mountains of Connemara, while to the east, its fertile plains run gently towards the Shannon basin. Its capital, Galway City, stands on the banks of the River Corrib, which flows into Galway Bay. East Galway is particularly rich in ecclesiastical and monastic ruins, while Galway City has been an important port and trading centre since medieval times, conducting a vigorous trade with places as far away as Italy, Spain and France. In modern times the county has been a focus of industrial and tourist expansion and contains one of the largest Gaeltachts or Irish-speaking areas in the country. Peadar O'Dowd's fascinating history of the area traces its political, administrative, social and economic developments over the centuries. He pays particular attention in the modern period to the importance of its educational and cultural infrastructures, as well as its changing life styles in the twenty-first century. A well-known local author and historian, O'Dowd has deep knowledge of and abiding affection for Galway and its people that is abundantly clear in this authoritative yet accessible study of his native county.

Galway artist Roisin Cure presents snapshots of life in the City of the Tribes in bold ink and vibrant watercolor. Her sketches show the beautiful details of Galway's pubs, the musicians and buskers, the exquisite medieval stonework, the marine environment, the vibrant nightlife culture, and the local colorful characters. These striking pictures are accompanied by recollections of conversations the artist had while sketching. This book is a unique souvenir of Galway, of a city that is famous for the arts and yet has so little in the way of visual art. It is a very timely book, released in advance of Galway 2020, when the city celebrates being European Capital of Culture.

Journey Westward written by Frank Shovlin and has been published by Liverpool University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-01-01 with Literary Criticism categories.

Journey Westward suggests that James Joyce was attracted to the west of Ireland as a place of authenticity and freedom. It examines how this acute sensibility is reflected in Dubliners via a series of coded nods and winks, posing new and revealing questions about one of the most enduring and resonant collections of short stories ever written. The answers are a fusion of history and literary criticism, utilizing close readings that balance the techniques of realism and symbolism. The result is a startlingly original study that opens up fresh ways of thinking about Joyce's masterpieces.

'Images of Ballinasloe' is a pictorial narration of one of County Galway's most venerable old towns. Declan Kelly has created a visual chronicle of a town steeped in history. He charts its progress from Patrician times down to the present day. It was through Ballinasloe's precincts that the armies of Aughrim marched into a bloody and decisive battle in 1691, and it was through its streets that Cardinal Wiseman, the leader of the English Church after the Restoration, was triumphantly drawn along in his carriage as over twenty thousand people went wild with joy. But His Eminence was no Ballinasloe man, and in 1956 a crowd of almost thirty thousand showed up to cheer on Joe Higgins, a native of the town, and the first 'King of the Fair'. In nearby Garbally House, on one occasion, Lady Clancarty 'Belle Bilton', a former music hall star, showed her contempt for the county families who turned their noses up at her lowly birth, by dancing a brilliant ballet that saw her reach her feet to the magnificent candelabra in derision of their snobbery. All of these events and more are regaled by Declan Kelly in this wonderful collection of both old and new photographs, most of which have never before been published. The reader is transported back in time and taken on a journey through the winding corridors of a town rich in history, culture and tradition.
