A reflection of the Romantic era
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Engagingly written by J. Stirling Coyne and illustrated by the drawings of W. H. Bartlett, The Scenery And Antiquities Of Ireland was first published in 1842, just a few years before the Great Potato Famine of 1845-1850. Originally presented in two volumes (both of which are combined under one cover in this newly published edition), The Scenery And Antiquities Of Ireland combines astonishingly detailed engravings of landscape and natural scenery, villages, ancient ruins, churches, and more. The detailed text describes assorted regions of Ireland as they appeared during the era of the author's sojourn. A reflection of the Romantic era, with its emphasis of idealism and nostalgia for the past as well as the captivating importance of natural beauty, The Scenery And Antiquities Of Ireland is just as informative and impressive as an armchair traveler tour-de-force today as it was over 150 years ago, and a very highly recommended contribution to Irish Studies, Irish History, Irish Culture, or Irish Travel reading lists and reference collections.
