W. (Patrick Weston) 1827 1914 Joyce, Patrick Weston A Reading Book in Irish History Produced by Chris Curnow, Asad Razzaki, The Internet Archive for some images and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "A Reading Book in Irish History" by P. W. Joyce is a historical account written in the late 19th century. Designed primarily for children, the book aims to educate younger audiences about Irish history through a blend of narratives including legends, historical sketches, and biographical accounts of significant figures from St. Brigit to the Great Earl of Kildare. The book also incorporates romance and folklore, with tales that not only convey historical facts but also the cultural significance of ancient Ireland. At the start of the work, the author introduces readers to the legends surrounding the early inhabitants of Ireland, including the Dedannans and the Milesians, setting the stage for the interplay between myth and historical events. Joyce presents these accounts with a focus on the customs and societal structures of ancient Ireland, illustrating the importance of storytelling in preserving cultural history. Key themes include the transition from pagan practices to Christianity, as well as insights into the daily lives and heroic tales of notable figures, such as the magical transformation of the Children of Lir into swans as a reflection of the rich tapestry of Irish folklore that underpins the nation’s identity.
