In Essentially Irish, antiques dealer and stylist Josephine Ryan offers a privileged glimpse into a fascinating array of Irish homes. The interiors featured include elegant Georgian country houses, chic city apartments, pretty cottages and striking contemporary homes. Their decorative styles may differ, but each home demonstrates what has made Irish interiors admired the world over - a rich colour palette, a close affinity with the landscape, an appreciation of the patina of the antique and a passion for the work created by a rich tradition of artists and craftsmen. The homes in this book are every bit as varied as their creative owners, and the carefully chosen locations illustrate the many facets of classic Irish style. This book is perfect for anyone who seeks ideas for their own Irish-inspired interior, or for those who simply want to dream... * From the author of the best-selling French Home (more than 37,000 copies sold). * An easy-to-achieve, beautiful look for anyone who loves Ireland and Irish style. * Stunning photography by leading Irish interiors photographer James Fennell.

What is the significance of theatre and performance within Irish culture and history? How do we understand the impact and political potential of Irish theatre? This innovative survey of theatre in Ireland covers a range of drama and performance, from the 17th century to the present. Expanding the field of Irish theatre to include mumming, wake games, prison protests and theatre riots, the book argues that Ireland's longstanding association with performance illuminates key aspects of its cultural history and politics. Foreword by Fiona Shaw.

Closing Chapters attempts to explain the disintegration of urban parochial schools in Youngstown, Ohio, a onetime industrial center that lost all but one of its eighteen Catholic parochial elementary schools between 1960 and 2006. Through this examination of Youngstown, Welsh sheds light on a significant national phenomenon: the fragmentation of American Catholic identity.
