History & Criticism

R.F. Foster's The Irish Story: Telling Tales and Making it Up in Ireland examines how key events in Irish history have been recast and retold to serve a multiplicity of purposes. In this provocative and extremely funny book Roy Foster demolishes the clichés that surround Ireland's past, examining how key moments have been turned into myths - and, more recently, airbrushed and repackaged for Hollywood and popular culture. Whether discussing the 'misery tourism' of Famine theme parks, ideas of mystical Celticism, the contested 'Irishness' of Yeats or the sentimentalized childhoods of Angela's Ashes and Gerry Adams's memoir, The Irish Story brilliantly separates the tall tales from the truth. 'Brilliantly scathing ... combative, incisive and immensely enjoyable' Fintan O'Toole, Irish Times 'Inspirational ... challenging, illuminating and witty' Antonia Fraser, Irish Times Books of the Year 'Very funny ... the Irish story has rarely received so lively and unbiased an unfolding' Patricia Craig, Independent 'A complex and supremely intelligent revision of Irish identity' Colm Tóibín, Independent Books of the Year 'Blazingly good ... lucid and elegant' John Lloyd, Financial Times R. F. Foster is Carroll Professor of Irish History at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford. His books include Modern Ireland: 1600-1972, Luck and the Irish and W. B. Yeats: A Life.

With the responsibility of elders in mind, five acclaimed Canadian poets -- Marilyn Bowering, Lorna Crozier, Susan Musgrave, Linda Rogers &amp; Patricia Young -- are nurturing a new generation of writers who have chosen poetry as the vocation that explains the human heart. 
In this unique book, the established poets offer their own superbly crafted new work alongside that of fifteen exciting new voices (Fran Bourassa, Samara Brock, Suzanne Buffam, Barbara Colebrook Peace, Brad Cran, Marlene Grand Maitre, Joelene Heathcote, Aislinn Hunter, J. William Knowles, Danielle Lagah, Elsie K. Neufeld, Ben Perry, Susan Alene Rodning, Kathy Sinclair, and Vera Wabegijig). Each mentor introduces her three proteges, explaining the reasons why each was selected. 
Not only inspired reading, Breaking the Surface offers fresh insights into the poetic imagination of a country internationally reknowned for fine writing.
