Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Irish Architecture, Vol. 1
But it still remains my duty, both to editor and reader, to allude to the causes that led to the commencement of the following book, and briefly to remark upon the last few years of my father's life, which were spent, to the exclusion of all other pleasures and pursuits, in preparing for a work which he was not destined personally to complete.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the captivating world of early Irish architecture, tracing its evolution from the ancient pagan forts to the emergence of a unique style of Romanesque construction. The author delves into the fascinating history of these buildings, drawing on legends and historical accounts to shed light on their origins and purpose. The book examines the distinctive features of Irish architecture, including the use of uncemented stone in early structures, the gradual incorporation of cement, and the development of the chancel arch. It explores the striking similarities between the earliest Christian monasteries and the pagan forts, suggesting a shared building tradition, and delves into the symbolism and artistic expression found in the decorative details of these structures. The author challenges conventional notions about Irish architecture, arguing that its development was not simply a derivative of Anglo-Norman influence. Instead, he presents a compelling case for the existence of a distinct and uniquely Irish style, one that evolved organically from the needs and artistic sensibilities of its people. The book provides a unique perspective on the rich history and cultural heritage of Ireland, revealing the ingenuity and artistic vision of its early builders.
