A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Irish Civilization provides the perfect background and introduction to both the history of Ireland until 1921 and the development of Ireland and Northern Ireland since 1921. This book illustrates how these societies have developed in common but also those elements where there have been, and continue to be, substantial differences.

It includes a focus on certain central structural aspects, such as:

• the physical geography,
• the people,
• political and governmental structures,
• cultural contexts,
• economic and social institutions,
• and education and the media.

Irish Civilization is a vital introduction to the complex history of Ireland and concludes with a discussion of the present state of the relationship between them. It is an essential resource for students of Irish Studies and general readers alike.
