Book Description
The untold story of a group of Irish cities and their remarkable development before the age of industrialization A backward corner of Europe in 1600, Ireland was transformed during the following centuries. This was most evident in the rise of its cities, notably Dublin and Cork. David Dickson explores ten urban centers and their patterns of physical, social, and cultural evolution, relating this to the legacies of a violent past, and he reflects on their subsequent partial eclipse. Beautifully illustrated, this account reveals how the country's cities were distinctive and--through the Irish diaspora--influential beyond Ireland's shores.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Famous Cities of Ireland A writer's debts in such a work as this cannot be fully acknowledged, and it would be ungracious to thank one friend more than another for hospitable guidance in the various place. For the help derived from books, what I owe to Mrs. J. R. Green will be obvious to every student. Mr. Orpen's Ireland under the Normans has been a guide to my ignorance, and Mr. Philip Wilson's volume on The Beginnings of Modern Ireland invaluable for the sixteenth century. The two volumes of Studies in Irish History published by the Irish Literary Society of London, have been of much service to me for the succeeding period, and in my last chapter I have drawn largely on Mr. Woodburn's fair-minded history of The Ulster Scot. All these are works of research: but I have pillaged one mine of gossip and anecdote. Miss Caldwell's Old Irish Life a volume of tradition gathered among the Martins of Connemara, hardly less delightful than the sketches which issue from the same family repertory in The Experiences of an Irish R.M.

Book Description
As rich and diverse as its subject, Dickson’s magisterial history brings 1,400 years of Dublin vividly to life: from its medieval incarnation through the neoclassical eighteenth century, the Easter Rising that convulsed the city in 1916, the bloody civil war following the handover of power by Britain, to end-of-millennium urban renewal efforts.
