Flaptekst van het boek over de geschiedenis van de pub in Ierland
Dive into the captivating journey of Irish pubs from humble 17th-century taverns to today’s global phenomena. This comprehensive study offers a unique exploration of their cultural impact, evolution, and future – a must-read for all history and culture enthusiasts.
Immerse yourself in the rich history and cultural significance of the Irish pub, from its humble beginnings in the 17th century to its modern incarnation as a global phenomenon. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the Irish pub, from experts in multiple disciplines – history, sociology, architecture, interior design, psychology, literature, music, performing arts, business and more – exploring the intricate tapestry of the Irish pub.
From its evolution and the myriad forces shaping it, the book takes you on a journey from the taverns, inns, and alehouses of the 17th and 18th centuries, through the commercialisation of the drinks industry, to the modern pubs of today. It investigates the active human engagement behind the creation and evolution of the Irish pub, challenging the notion of a static ’traditional’ pub and emphasising its dynamism and diversity. This book also uncovers the under-examined aspects of Ireland’s history, such as gender, migration, and multiculturalism, in the context of its pub culture. It examines the Irish pub’s role as a community resource, a literary phenomenon, a social driver, and a global commodity. It also speculates about the future of the Irish pub and advocates for its re-invention as a more inclusive and creative space.
This is the first full-length academic treatment of the Irish pub phenomenon, offering a profound understanding of its historic, literary, political, business, sociological, and psychological dimensions. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish culture, pub culture, or the complex interplay between social space and cultural identity. Whether you’re a scholar of cultural studies, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys a good pint, this book will provide you with a deeper appreciation of the Irish pub and its place in society. Find out why preserving these institutions is essential for the future of Irish cultural heritage.
