商品描述内容简介Each of Foster's books has generated vigorous discussion, but in "The Irish Story" he breaks fresh ground even by his own standards. Driven by his sense of the seriousness of history and a fascination with those who distort it, "The Irish Story" examines how key facets of Ireland's past have been tampered with to serve a multiplicity of purposes. "The Irish Story" is endlessly varied, surprising and funny. It is also a rallying cry for those anxious that contemporary Ireland may be in danger of turning itself into a meretricious historical theme-park.作者简介R.F. Foster is Carroll Professor of Irish History at Oxford University. His books include MODERN IRELAND 1600-1972 and the first volume of W.B. YEATS: A LIFE. In 2000 he was a Booker Prize judge. THE IRISH STORY was shortlisted for the 2001 Orwell Prize.
