What exactly did the split over the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 actually mean? We know it both established the independent Irish state and that Ireland would not be a fully sovereign republic and provided for the partition of Northern Ireland. The Treaty was ratified 64 votes to 57 by the Sinn Fein members of the Revolutionary Dail Eireann, splitting Sinn Fein irrevocably and leading to the Irish Civil War, a rupture that still defines the Irish political landscape a century on. Drawing together the work of a diverse range of scholars, who each re-examine this critical period in Irish political history from a variety of perspectives, The Anglo-Irish Treaty Debates addresses this vexed historical and political question for a new generation of readers in the ongoing Decade of Commemorations, to determine what caused the split and its consequences that are still felt today.

The Voyage to Parnassus, The Siege of Numantia, and The Treaty of Algiers The Voyage to Parnassus, The Siege of Numantia, and The Treaty of Algiers

Автор: Miguel de Cervantes

Год издания: 

Considered by many as the greatest of all Spanish authors, Miguel de Cervantes is most well-known of course for «Don Quixote,» a work of such literary impact that its historical importance cannot be understated. Unfortunately Cervantes' other works are often overlooked and characterized as inferior to his masterpiece. While his other writings never gained the popularity of «Don Quixote,» he did author several other works that are worthy of consideration. Amongst these are «The Voyage to Parnassus,» «The Siege of Numantia,» and «The Treaty of Algiers.» Considered by some as Cervantes best work next to «Don Quixote,» «The Voyage to Parnassus» is a comedic work first published in 1614 which satirizes his lyrical contemporaries. «The Siege of Numantia» is a dramatic tragedy composed around 1582 which follows the tradition of classic ancient Greek and Roman epics like Virgil's «Aeneid» and Lucan's «Pharsalia.» Another play, «The Treaty of Algiers,» deals with the life of Christian slaves in Algiers and is based on Cervantes' own experiences as a captive of the Moors.
