Free Download Maria Edgeworth’s Irish Writing: Language, History, Politics By Brian Hollingworth
1997 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0333681665 | PDF | 13 MB
Edgeworth is regarded as a pioneer in the development of the regional novel and the use of vernacular language. This study investigates her attitudes towards language and regionalism. It shows, by detailed discussion of her major Irish texts – Castle Rackrent, Essay on Irish Bulls, Ennui, The Absentee and Ormond – how her intellectual ‘lunar’ background, and her life in Ireland during the momentus years of the Union is reflected in the form and language of her writing.

A decade after the confirmation of the Kuiper Belt’s existence, 80 of the world’s experts gathered in Chile to review what has been learned since 1992. This record of the meeting is enhanced by several specially solicited papers covering additional material not presented at the conference. The volume includes papers on the dynamics of the trans-Neptunian region, the results of deep surveys for the new objects and the evidence for an outer Edge to the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt. Physical observations of many objects are described and attempts are made to bring these data into some coherent picture of the distant solar system. The interior physics of these distant, icy objects, and the link between the Kuiper Belt and dust disks around other stars are also considered. Of particular interest is a set of papers on how the surfaces of distant asteroids are affected by various types of radiation, an area crucial to the interpretation of data being collected by large ground based telescopes.
