Like its highly praised predecessor, \u003ci\u003eA New Anatomy of Ireland,\u003c\/i\u003e it abounds with quirky people and vivid scenes and is a striking reappraisal of Ireland under the Protestant Ascendancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book ranges from the governing elite of Dublin Castle to Dublin itself, to provincial towns and the countryside beyond, and even to the Irish in Britain and Europe. Toby Barnard describes varied buildings, gardens, pictures, and belongings, showing how possessions highlighted and widened divisions between rich and poor, women and men, Irish Catholics and Protestant settlers. The book allows Ireland for the first time to be integrated into discussions of the pleasures and pains of consumerism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54220162105688,"sku":"9780300204261","price":66.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780300204261__6765447c685fb.jpg?v=1741158460","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/making-the-grand-figure","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
