It has been a touchstone of British occupation and Irish autonomy that can be analyzed through the details of its form and furnishing. Making Majesty is an elegant collection of essays, by leading Irish art and architectural historians, that cover a broad range of perspectives in refining our understanding of this tremendously lavish space, shedding new light on the major and minor figures who created, ornamented, decorated and used it. The first volume of the three-volume architectural history of Dublin Castle presents original findings that will overthrow preconceptions about the nature of the presence of the British monarchy in Ireland. With deeply insightful analysis that draws upon uniquely accessed archives, authors Campbell and Derham bring to light every aspect of how Dublin Castle's authorities wished to be perceived and how that changed according to the whims of imperious Viceroys, renowned craftsmen, and an Irish state wishing to secure an image of its newfound self-determination. This fascinating work will be of interest to anyone with a passion for the history of Ireland, its art, design, and architecture.

Tha feadhainn dhiubh èibhinn agus feadhainn eile nas doimhne agus tha iad a’ dol air ais agus air adhart ann an tìm. Coinnichidh sinn ri teaghlach a chaidh a losgadh a-mach às an dachaigh aca ann am Bad an Loisgein anns an 19mh linn agus ri Cindy agus Dez a shiubhail gu Màrs agus air ais. Coinnichidh sinn ri Tim, am feòil-sheachnair à Glaschu agus ris an Urramach Bhaltair MacAnndrais agus am mèirleach a thug dùbhlan dha air an trèan.  Tha an saoghal os-nàdarra a’ suathadh ri ceithir de na sgeulachdan. Cruinneachadh tlachdmhor a bhios na adhbhar gàire agus na adhbhar smaoineachaidh don leughadair.     These riveting stories stretch from Paris to Jerusalem, from outright hilarity to deeper, darker tones.

Kildare, takes a novel approach to following the fortunes of the family over eight generations: from the construction by William Conolly in the 1720s to the sale of the house in 1965, it is related through the individual lives of family members. Their interconnected biographies reveal opposing perspectives and trace how the terms of settlements and wills impacted on members of the extended family. Highlighting the significance of women to Castletown's survival and the life stories of lesser-known residents, the author creates a rounded account of those who once occupied the house and the circumstances leading up to its near sale in 1808 following a bitter family rift. Encompassing diverse figures - some center stage in major international events - this study of the Conollys provides fresh insights into their familial, social, political and cultural networks in Ireland and England. This book was written in parallel with the Office of Public Works' new presentation of the Tom Conolly Room at Castletown where visitors are now introduced to generations of the family through portraiture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744404414737,"sku":"NGR9781788550062","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1788550064.jpg?v=1751248714"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-myles-campbell.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
