Produktbeschreibung
Throughout history most local events, structures, and politics have been directly and indirectly influenced by external forces. Even in present day circumstances the speed of change dictated by European control will have a lasting and damaging effect on Irish culture, politics, and physical structures. Often historians devote effort into revealing the micro artifacts, and fail to appreciate the macro elements that shape and cause the development, thereby ignoring their genesis. This book attempts to widen the understanding of how County Donegal developed as a result of natural physical restraints, and the intrusion of external forces through the ages. It examines the physical built environment, cultural influence, and economic progress, and the resultant exploitation that largely continues even today.

Autorenporträt
Edward 'Ned' Ward (1667 - 1731), a publican by trade and a satirical writer by vocation, first enjoyed success with his Trip to Jamaica, published in 1698. This led to a series of other satirical travel books, including to New England, to Islington, to Sadler's Wells, to Bath, and to Stourbridge. Adapting the Jamaica format he then published his most famous work, The London Spy, which surveyed in 18 monthly instalments the seamier side of the London scene, and through which he established his name and style in the literary world. A High-Church Tory, he used his political writings to attack Whigs, Puritans, and Presbyterians; although they also landed him into trouble and, charged with sedition for accusing Queen Anne of not supporting the Tories in Parliament, was condemned to stand in the pillory. As a publican, he kept the King's Head Tavern, an alehouse in Clerkenwell, the Bacchus Tavern, and the British Coffee House, near Gray's Inn.
