When we speak of the Irish Renaissance, we can also be referring to a Celtic Renaissance. We call it the Irish Renaissance because it was championed principally by Irish writers, one of which, at least, used the Celtic tradition to invigorate the Renaissance.

Rebellion was always on the horizon, economic collapse was always imminent, the catastrophe of the Potato Famine was still a racial memory, and the rule of the English was still unbearable. From this potentially destructive social structure came some of the finest writing of ...

On the contrary, they immersed themselves in the war, not to fight, but to look after those injured during the war. This was irrespective of which side they belonged to. The care that Florence Nightingale and other pioneers provided to ...

Abrahams sacrifice serves to instil a sense of profound devotion that drives the religious belief. The accounts contained in the Koran and the Bible diverges after the tale of Abraham and the banishment of Ishmael, each citing their own ...

The European Union did not begin, as many seem to think, as a diplomatic coalition of European states. Instead, the formation of the European Union was a practical financial decision, born from the changing face of the world after the end of the Cold War (Majone).
