This open access book is the first comparative study of public, voluntary and private asylums in nineteenth-century Ireland. Examining nine institutions, it explores whether concepts of social class and status and the emergence of a strong middle class informed interactions between gender, religion, identity and insanity. It questions whether medical and lay explanations of mental illness and its causes, and patient experiences, were influenced by these concepts. The strong emphasis on land and its interconnectedness with notions of class identity and respectability in Ireland lends a particularly interesting dimension. The book interrogates the popular notion that relatives were routinely locked away to be deprived of land or inheritance, querying how often “land grabbing” Irish families really abused the asylum system for their personal economic gain. The book will be of interest to scholars of nineteenth-century Ireland and the history of psychiatry and medicine in Britain and Ireland.

This open access book maps a crucial but neglected chapter in the history of psychiatry: how was melancholia transformed in the nineteenth century from traditional melancholy madness into a modern biomedical mood disorder, paving the way for the emergence of clinical depression as a psychiatric illness in the twentieth century? At a time when the prevalence of mood disorders and antidepressant consumption are at an all-time high, the need for a comprehensive historical understanding of how modern depressive illness came into being has never been more urgent. This book addresses a significant gap in existing scholarly literature on melancholia, depression, and mood disorders by offering a contextualised and critical perspective on the history of melancholia in the first decades of psychiatry, from the 1830s until the turn of the twentieth century.

Ce livre commence par l’un des plus illustres représentants du théâtre contemporain irlandais, Brian Friel, chez qui Nicholas Grene explore différents modes de vérité à travers une analyse de quelques-unes de ses plus grandes pièces comme The Freedom of the City, Faith Healer ou Dancing at Lughnasa. Terence Brown étudie le rôle de la musique dans le théâtre de Stewart Parker, sa vision de Belfast, la ville natale, qui s’élargit à l’histoire de la province et à celle de l’Irlande. Lynda Henderson souligne les relations problématiques qui, dans les premières pièces de Tom Murphy, relient le monde intérieur et le monde extérieur jusqu’au moment où, à partir de The Gigli Concert, le premier l’emporte clairement. L’abnégation est, dans le théâtre de Thomas Kilroy, nous explique Barbara Hayley, le seul moyen qui permette à certaines personnalités de s’affirmer. Quant aux thèmes de l’œuvre de Frank McGuinness, ce sont, selon le dramaturge lui-même, perte, désespoir, échec, violence, damnation, mort et crainte du suicide ; en même temps il a voulu créer "Un théâtre de la célébration". Le drame poétique de Seamus Heaney, The Cure at Troy, donne lieu de la part de Colin Meir à un compte rendu de la représentation au Lyric Players Theatre de Belfast en octobre 1990, suivi d’une analyse du texte. Christopher Murray choisit enfin d’étudier les thèmes de dramaturges moins célèbres, pour la plupart des jeunes, qui seront peut-être les grands noms de demain. Ainsi cet ouvrage nous offre un large panorama de la production théâtrale dans l’Irlande contemporaine. This book begins with one of the most illustrious representatives of contemporary Irish theatre, Brian Friel, with whom Nicholas Grene explores different modes of truth through an analysis of some of his greatest plays such as The Freedom of the City, Faith Healer or Dancing at Lughnasa.

En mars 1789, Pierre-François Lepoutre, fermier à Linselles, est élu député de la gouvernance de Lille aux États généraux ; son élection constitue en elle-même un épisode révélateur de la dynamique politique dans laquelle la France est engagée. Notre paysan croyait sans doute rester quelques semaines à Versailles ; en fait, membre de l’Assemblée devenue nationale constituante, il séjourne au cœur de la France en révolution et reste deux ans et demi loin de la ferme des Wattines que dirige son épouse, Angélique Lepoutre-Delputte. Ainsi séparé, le couple échange près de 500 lettres. Ce volume restitue fidèlement la majeure partie de cette correspondance exceptionnelle. Elle constitue une évocation très concrète de l’histoire générale de la Révolution tout en fourmillant de notations sur les préoccupations quotidiennes des députés. Mais cette correspondance à double sens permet aussi d’appréhender l’indéniable mise en mouvement des provinces par l’événement révolutionnaire. On perçoit bien la complexité des adhésions et des refus à l’égard du changement en cours, l’enchevêtrement des espoirs et des inquiétudes dans les campagnes flamandes qui ne sont pas aussi immédiatement antirévolutionnaire qu’on le prétend parfois. À côté des grands engagements et de la grave question religieuse, c’est une multitude de préoccupations qui s’enchevêtrent : des problèmes de subsistance à la contrebande, de la révolution brabançonne aux rumeurs de guerre, des contributions patriotiques aux problèmes des assignats. Par ailleurs, les lettres nous font pénétrer à la fois dans une exploitation agricole et dans la vie d’une famille de notables villageois. L’intensification de l’agriculture et la diversification des activités, l’importance des fêtes familiales et l’étendue du réseau de relations, où figurent bien des noms connus, le souci du député de sauvegarder son approvisionnement en beurre flamand et l’impatience de l’épouse, sur qui pèse lourdement cette longue séparation,…
