Text of the page (random words):
als to the point where the reality of their lives is buried beneath a kind of mythology produced by the cultural and social mores of a succeeding period a literary case in point is charlotte brontë whose life and legacy were constructed according to very particular victorian era strictures on female behaviour by her first biographer elizabeth gaskell the resulting image of brontë held wide sway throughout the victorian period and into the twentieth century with readers regularly making pilgrimages to brontë country to pay homage to an author about whom they had only vaguely realistic ideas and perceptions the same might be said about many of our so called canonical writers as well as famed historical figures while we might argue that the contemporary context of such figures is central to an understanding of their actions it seems equally essential that we acknowledge the context in which scholarship and historiography are produced this would help explain why certain individuals and texts receive an inordinate amount of critical attention while others remain marginalized much irish gothic fiction of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries for instance has suffered at the hands of the canonization of english writers like horace walpole ann radcliffe and matthew lewis to the point where it often seems as if irish writers simply didn t engage with the gothic aesthetic at all in this period that this is patently untrue is clear from the litany of gothic novels produced by irish pens in the latter half of the eighteenth century alone the adventures of miss sophia berkley 1760 longsword 1762 the history of lady barton 1771 earl strongbow 1789 the children of the abbey 1796 and clermont 1798 to name but a few read more tags abraham lincoln charlotte

comments the world s oldest camera 9 december 2011 by lisa griffith in the last few years i have had a growing interest in photography and working in the national print museum has made me think a bit more about the machines that create the historical documents we most use i used to tell my students at carlow college that historians are quite unimaginative with their sources the majority of what we use is the printed or written word with a smattering of images and how much can this really tell us about life in the period we are living i know this can t be universally applied but often i think as historians we can be quite boring in our sources particularly when we are in a class room we bombard students with words and often in between they get a few nice pictures or even a political cartoon how often can we present them with a description of for instance eighteenth century dental problems to explain how rudimentary a science it was and that when people had toothaches they were more often than not treated incorrectly which led to all sorts of pain and all sorts of bad moods and knock on effects surely something like dentistry was as important to people s lives then as it is now i will have to admit that i did not really engage with medical history when it emerged a few years ago so i am probably just way behind the curve on this but i have started to think a bit about the processes of change in institutions and practices that are every day to us as well as some and scientific and technical developments like the camera to think how they shaped the sources they produced as well as the people who used them the above image is supposedly of the world s oldest camera as well as some random thoughts for a friday posted in uncategorized 38 comments 5 things i have learned at the national print museum 7 december 2011 by lisa griffith i have just started a new job teaching culture and heritage studies at the national print museum which is located in beggar s bush barracks on haddington road i have never worked at a museum before and it s quite exciting to be able to integrate teaching into a museum but also to be able to practically teach students about printing while looking at the machines that produced such wonderful texts i have a research interest in print culture particularly the king s printer in the eighteenth century but i had not thought too extensively about the machines themselves before coming to the museum here are five things that i have learned in my first four weeks about the museum and printing that i thought i would share with you 1 gutenberg s press used the same idea and technology as a wine press moveable type was not the wholly genius part to his creation he used the model of the screw type wine press of the rhine region to press the paper onto the inked up type perhaps we should all be drinking more wine in honour of this we do not know exactly what gutenburg s first press looked like or even his exact method as there were constant alterations and improvements made to the process but the wine press idea was there from the start 2 the next major innovation in the setting of type did not come along until over four hundred years later with the invention of the linotype machine in 1884 read more posted in uncategorized 8 comments pue s recommendations for december 5 december 2011 juliana adelman i always seem to find myself going to the theatre around christmas this year i am taking my son to see white christmas at the grand canal theatre and hoping that family friendly means suitable for 4 year olds the series after life the strange science of decay on bbc4 tues 9pm has caught my eye they leave a house to rot and see what happens rather like the future archaeology thought experiment that inspired the world without us having at last received our historical boardgames in the post i can say that buccaneer is simple and would do nicely to fill the food wine coma period after christmas dinner escape from colditz however may take us the rest of the month to figure out how to play i am hoping it will be worth it finally i m intrigued by the victorian christmas festivities in wicklow gaol which includes a replica victorian streetscape and a storyteller lisa marie griffith december always feels like one long wait and preparation until the 24th of december when you can put your feet up and forget about work but i have just started a new job in the national print museum and have a lot to do between now and christmas at the moment i am doing some research on museum and library studies a module i am teaching for the first time i am eagerly waiting the arrival of a few books from amazon on the subject including sharon macdonald s a companion to museum studies which has been recommended as a good broad basic text on the subject and timothy ambrose museum basics which looks at care preservation and museum heritage i am also teaching folklore for the first time and had fun last week introducing my students to folklore through the ucd department of folklore website which is not only a great introduction to the collection they house including interviews and photographs which they enjoyed listening to it s a great introduction to the topic in general the above picture is a nineteenth century depiction of some wren boys on the 26 december i am doing some research for my class coming up to christmas did you now they were also apparently called mummers if anyone has any recommendations for good basic books on museum and library studies or folklore studies please add them below tina morin this month i ll be frantically writing chapters while also trying to get ready for christmas for the former i m drinking a lot of coffee and tying myself to my desk for the latter i m planning to hit the belfast christmas continental market and the christmas craft fair at belfast s george s market for some unique christmas gifts for family and friends in that same vein i d love to stop by avoca s new food market and cafe in monkstown co dublin not just to treat myself to lunch mind but also to pick up a few goodies to bring home with me to my family in new hampshire i brought my mom an avoca christmas pudding one year and it went down a treat and was wrapped so nicely as well once that s sorted i might treat myself to a few things on my own list including claire connolly s recently published monograph a cultural history of the irish novel and pd james novel death comes to pemberley a murder mystery sequel to austen s pride and prejudice kevin o sullivan yes yes i know i m waaay behind on this but have you seen the killing for those in search of life after the wire and with a penchant for wallander and all things dark moody and scandinavian series 2 is now showing on bbc 4 we re still only halfway through the first in our house but it s something special i m sure you ve seen our historians christmas gift list but if you d like to add something for that sports fan in your life the trailers for the senna dvd release made up of documentary footage and archive interviews from the brazilian s formula 1 career look superb finally the obligatory book recommendation i ve been reading larry mcmurtry s 1985 novel lonesome dove set in the nineteenth century american west cowboys cattle and a slice of the brutality of life on the frontier superb posted in pue

there just enough to have a white christmas do a bit of skiing and make a few snow angels while thinking about that yesterday i did some random ish googling and found some amazing images of individual snowflakes we used to cut paper versions of these as kids on the basis that every snow flake is unique but this is the first time i think i ve ever actually considered just what that means image
