Martin Dowling

Traditional Music and Irish Society: Historical Perspectives (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

These essays investigate the relation of traditional music to Irish modernity. The author integrates a survey of the early sources of Irish music with recent work on Irish social history in the eighteenth century to explore the question of the antiquity of the tradition and the class locations of its origins and he argues that the formation of Irish traditional music occurred alongside the economic and political modernization of European society in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Dowling concludes with an assessment of the current state of traditional music and cultural negotiation in Northern Ireland.
