📚 -A Brief History of Ireland 🇮🇪
✅ From the dawn of history to the decline of the Celtic Tiger 🐯 - how Ireland 🇮🇪 has been shaped over the centuries.
Ireland 🇮🇪 has been shaped by many things over the centuries: geography, war, the fight for liberty 🗽. A Brief History of Ireland 🇮🇪 is the perfect introduction to this exceptional place, its people 👥 and ➕ its culture 🧫.
Ireland 🇮🇪 has been home 🏠️ to successive groups of settlers - Celts, Vikings, Normans, Anglo-Scots, Huguenots. It has imported huge ideas 💡, none bigger than Christianity ⛪️ which it then re-exported to Europe 🌍️ after the fall of the Roman Empire. In the Tudor era it became the first 🥇 colony of the developing 👨💻️ English 🏴 Empire. Its fraught and ➕ sometimes brutal relationship with England 🏴 has dominated its modern history. Killeen argues that religion 🛐 was decisive in all this: Ireland 🇮🇪 remained substantially Catholic, setting 📐 it at odds with the larger island 🏝️ culturally, religiously and ➕ politically. But its own culture 🧫 and ➕ identity 🆔 have stayed strong, most obviously in literature with a magnificent tradition of writing ✍️ from the Book 📚️ of Kells to the modern masters: Joyce, Yeats, Beckett and ➕ Heaney.
