Limerick An Invitation to the Emerald Isle Ireland the "Emerald Isle" is both a geographically and culturally inspiring land. It's lush, green, and craggy mountains, rolling hills, and seaside cliffs command one's attention; but its legends, folklore, music, art and literature will captivate one's emotions. It is an island with as rich a history and as diverse a culture as writers, painters and musicians can depict. Ireland is a nation with a complicated history affected by tensions that continue to influence the present; however, today's Ireland is a series of treasures awaiting your discovery! Ireland is not mired in the past but is energetically growing, thriving and improving in harmony with its own history. Today's Ireland is an intriguing mix of art, literature, music, sports, politics, religion, technology and more. As a student in Ireland today, you will be on the cusp of radical modernization and energy without failing to grasp the strength of the historical culture that is endemic to the island nation. As evidence of Ireland's allure, Economist magazine recently named Ireland as the best place to live in the world.

42. English Fairy Tales: Introductory Notes Mr BaringGould appended to the first edition of Henderson s Folk-lore of theNorthern Then come parallels in some fullness for the united kingdom, http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/eft/eft45.htm

Sacred Texts Legends and Sagas English Folklore Index ... Next Introductory Notes Notes and References for ENGLISH FAIRY TALES THE Fairy Tales of England have been treated in rather a step-motherly fashion. That they once existed in tolerable numbers there are still traces in the library list of Captain Cox, published by the New Shakespeare Society, among others, and in odd references in literature and in chap-books. But in the middle of last century the genius of Charles Perrault captivated English and Scotch children with as much force as or, probably, with even more force than he had entranced French ones. Cinderella and Puss in Boots and their companions ousted Childe Rowland and Mr Fox and Catskin. The superior elegance and clearness of the French tales replaced the rude vigour of the English ones. What Perrault began, the Grimms completed. Tom Tit Tot gave way to Rumpelstiltschen, the three Sillies to Hansel and Grethel, and the English Fairy Tale became a of Perrault and the Grimms. This would not have been so serious if English provincial life had been as conservative and tenacious as the provincial life of France, Italy, or Germany. But railways and the telegraph have disintegrated our provincial life much more than continental. And for various reasons the English peasant has never had so vivid a social life as the Bauer or Jacques Bonhomme. Consequently there is less hope of recovering the lost fairy tales of England to such a degree as has been accomplished with such brilliant success in almost every European country during the past thirty years, or still more conspicuously among the Gaels of Scotland by the late J. F. Campbell.

Join BNPTV Regional Voices Donate ... IONA The British - a mongrel race? "Cat" writes from British Columbia about her passion for the British people and its unique identity. Political correctness has such a grip on Canadian society that discussion of racial origins of the European settlers of that enormous land is confined to private quietly whispered conversation. It has been said that the British are a bastard race, that has neither the right nor the distinct racial heritage needed to proclaim itself the land of a distinct people. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Why is it important to establish the argument for a distinct people in the case of Britain and her history? It is important because without a working knowledge of one's cultural and racial origins one is ever at risk of being demoralized when one is told that one's people have no solidifying historical, cultural or racial core. It is true that Europe and Britain were settled long ago by Caucasian tribes. It is true that as with all ancient formations of nations, the settling of lands, warfare and border spats were indeed the norm for some time. One cannot imagine that, as those Caucasian tribes strove to settle and claim Europe and Britain , anything less than sporadic warfare and land disputes could have taken place. Such were the birth pains of any new nations in the ancient days when the untilled lands, the silent age old wilderness, first felt the foot of the Caucasian tribes.

Travel writer James McConnachie heads to Provence in search of the Mistral. Key Points The name "mistral" comes from the Provençal word for "master". A complex set of conditions gives rise to a Mistral, but it's essentially a kind of föhn wind. The Mistral gusts to force 10 and above. Also in this Series Beaufort Scale Wind Winds of the World Katabatic Winds Also in BBC Weather Orographic Uplift The BBC is not responsible for the content of external websites. Peter Mayle described the Mistral as a "brutal, exhausting wind that can blow the ears off a donkey" and, as the author of 'A Year in Provence', he had a fair chance to get to know it. ...the Mistral blows as often as 100 days of the year... More casual visitors to southeast France – future authors of 'A Long Weekend in St Tropez', perhaps – all too often make the acquaintance of this notorious wind as well, as the Mistral blows as often as 100 days of the year, gusting to force 10 and above. Locals claim that a sudden feeling of dejection sweeps through them just before the Mistral arrives...

Anthropology Culture and Cultural Studies All-Info About English Culture A key to the fads, foibles and eccentricities of cultural England. It covers hight culture and low life with a British accent. Editor: Paula Bardell. Benjamin, Walter The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Based on Julian Scaff's new edition of Benjamin's text. "In principle a work of art has always been reproducible. Man-made artifacts could always be imitated by men. Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain. Mechanical reproduction of a work of art, however, represents something new." Benjamin explains what's new. Bobbie, Gloria (Plattsburgh, USA) A Journey Through the Culture of Capitalism Capitalism isn't just an economic or political system, it pervades every aspect of the culture in countries which have adopted it as a way of making a living. "Capitalism affects every aspect of our lives, from the way our children are born to the way our dead are laid to rest. It affects how we think, what we wear, what we eat, where we live, what we buy and how we buy it. There is no part of our lives which is not in some way affected by capitalism." This site is dedicated to the study of this phenomenon. You'll find courses, resources and a potpourri section on themes like cooking, travel and shopping. The site is home to "Anthropological Perspectives on Global Issues", a Global Issues webcourse, taught through SUNY Plattsburgh, which deals with issues prevalent within the culture of capitalism. It is designed as a learning center which supports the course and research into the culture of capitalism.
