Blooms & Barnacles

Big Words Which Make Us So Unhappy

03 Jul 2019

Description

History is the art of Nestor, so let's immerse ourselves in the nightmare of history, at least the bits covered on  p. 31 of Ulysses. Learn about Stephen's hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.  Mr. Deasy tries to teach Stephen a history, but (spoiler alert) he doesn't know much about history. Topics covered include Daniel O'Connell, the Orange lodges, the Famine and the Fenians.  This episode covers some heavy stuff, but learning new things will make you feel like the woman in this picture.  On the blog: Deasy of West Britain Social Media: Facebook|Twitter Subscribe to Blooms and Barnacles: iTunes| Google Play Music| Stitcher Further Reading: A concise history of the Orange Order.
