    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography.

    The Dark Ages Marshall High School Mr. Cline Western Civilization I: Ancient Foundations Marshall High School Unit Five AD * How the Irish Saved Civilization • Christianity's Impact on Insular Art • Ireland's Golden Age is closely tied with the spread of Christianity. • As Angles and Saxons began colonizing the old Roman province of Brittania, Christians living in Britain fled to the relative safety of Ireland. • These Christians found themselves isolated from their neighbors on the mainland and essentially cut off from the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. • This isolation, combined with the mostly agrarian society of Ireland, resulted in a very different form of Christianity. • Instead of establishing a centralized hierarchy, like the Roman Catholic Church, Irish Christians established monasteries. • Monasticism got an early start in Ireland, and monasteries began springing up across the countryside. • The Irish did not just build monasteries in Ireland. * How the Irish Saved Civilization • Christianity's Impact on Insular Art • They sent missionaries to England to begin reconverting their heathen neighbors. • From there they crossed the channels, accelerating the conversion of France, Germany and the Netherlands and establishing monasteries from Poitiers to Vienna. • These monasteries became centers of art and learning, producing art of unprecedented complexity, like the Book of Kells, and great scholars, like the Venerable Bede (Yes, the guy who wrote the Anglo Saxon History of Britain was indeed Irish!) * How the Irish Saved Civilization • Christianity's Impact on Insular Art * How the Irish Saved Civilization • Christianity's Impact on Insular Art • Over time, Ireland became the cultural and religious leader of Northwestern Europe.

The demesne created by Lord Charlemont on his return to Ireland was strongly infuenced by his experiences on the Grand Tour from visits to antique Roman gardens to the poetry of Virgil and Horace. Lord Vestibule Charlemont’s achievement at creating an earthly paradise at Marino was his gift to posterity. Sadly by the middle of the twentieth century almost all vestiges of this marvel had been lost, and in turn the memory of such a landscape at Marino Was almost erased.

    Royal Irish Academy Art and Architecture of Ireland Volume III Sculpture 1600-2000 Edward Smyth, (c.1749-1812), see pages 321-323 Suitability: Junior Cycle - 3D construction, Ceramics/ Pottery, Life Drawing ​ Senior Cycle - Art History, Georgian Architecture Senior Cycle - Ceramics/ Pottery, Life Drawing Theme: Identity ​ Topic: Georgian Architecture, Sculpture ​ Edward Smyth created sculptures from portland stone called the ‘Riverine Heads’ in 1784. They are fourteen keystones on the Custom House representing the principal rivers of Ireland. These heads featured on the first banknotes created by the Irish Free State in 1928. His work features on the Custom House, Bank of Ireland and the Four Courts. Links to James Gandon and Henry Darley. Questions 1. What material were Smyth’s heads made from? 2. Do you think he would have used the additive or subtractive method to create these? 3. What is this form of sculpture called? 4. Describe his treatment of the human face? 5. Can you suggest a reason of why he chose the rivers of Ireland to be represented? 6. Does the sculpture add to the architecture of the building? Activity Create a self portrait based on theme identity representing where you are from. Brainstorm the theme and decide on whether you will incorporate the natural characteristics of your hometown or the man made attractions. Using the same subtractive method of Smyth you will carve your sculpture from a block of plaster. Follow- on activity Research Irish stamps. Design and create a stamp using a photograph of your sculpture as the main image. Photoshop can be used or it can be done manually.
