The name by itself is worth talking about. It shows up the vicissitudes of Irish place-names; and it illustrates this, too, that much of the glory of the past, suggested by the original name, is obscured and hidden away by barbarous modern un-Irish terms.\" Chapters include: County Kildare: its clans, round towers, castles, monasteries and convents, and more; Dysert: what it means, the place and the word; Dyserts, What They Were: Croagh Patrick and Slieve Donard and others; The Lake Dysert; The Ocean Dysert; Faded Memories: Should Saints Be Forgotten?; The Irish Lay Brother; Towns Cradled in Hermits's Cells; A Duel Between Names: Dysert-Diarmada or Castledermot?; Dysert-Diarmada Wins as a Place Name; An Objection From Shakespeare; Irish Place-Names Disfigured: Loop Head, Mutton Island, The Ovens and others; Ireland as a National Art Gallery: battles, portraits, groups, legends, sports, historical events, penal scenes and landscapes; Dysert-Diarmada as a Painting: key to a gallery of local pictures; A Ready-Made History of Dysert-Diarmada: local writers, the Sacred Promontory, Camden's Mistake, the Gaelic League and supplementary facts. An Index of Place-Names Explained and a General Index complete this work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53765742002509,"sku":"9780788425868","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/Qsk-OH5XQX9780788425868.webp?v=1776883824","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/dysert-diarmada-or-irish-place-names-their-beauty-their-degradation-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
