With that sense of self came the beginnings of the colonialist notion of the \"other\"\" Ireland, however, proved a most difficult other because it was so closely linked, both culturally and geographically, to England. Ireland's colonial position was especially complex because of the political, religious, and ethnic heritage it shared with England. Andrew Murphy asserts that the Irish were seen not as absolute but as \"proximate\" others. As a result, English writing about Ireland was a problematic process, since standard colonial stereotypes never quite fit the Irish. \u003ci\u003eBut the Irish Sea Betwixt Us\u003c\/i\u003e examines the English view of the \"imperfect\" other by looking at Ireland through works by Spenser, Jonson, and Shakespeare. Murphy also considers a broad range of materials from the Renaissance period, including journals, pamphlets, histories, and state papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813192781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813192789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Kentucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Andrew Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086907355391,"sku":"9780813192789","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_739869f5-a1c8-4296-8a14-b7489830afd1.jpg?v=1769097255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/but-the-irish-sea-betwixt-andrew-murphy-9780813192789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
