This history is very convoluted and long, yet for Ireland, a very important part of its history lies in the interactions between it and Britain.

These interactions can be looked all the way back to 1169 when the Normans, who later became modern…

Hot and Cold Trails Clues and disguises build structural tension in detective fiction by throwing off the reader, tossing them back and forth between clarity of mind and clouded judgment, like the push and pull of ocean waves. Clues often allow the reader to start to unravel a mystery in their mind while disguises are…
Following North, Heaney’s next collection of poetry was Field Work which largely documents his four years spent in Glanmore County Wicklow. The significance of this move is that it took him South of the border with the Republic of Ireland, a haven away from the sectarian violence of the North.

Seventeenth century Ireland was a violent time. War and the economy were increasingly interrelated and the links between the two continuously shaped the erratic course of Irish history. Violence typically leads to decreased economic output and turmoil as was the case in seventeenth century Ireland. In order to accurately depict the links between war and the Irish economy of the seventeenth century I will draw four concise links. A critical driving force behind the Rebellion of 1641 was the…

Although the Conservative government…
