ABSTRACT This paper examines the contribution of an individual known in Wales as one of a number from humble backgrounds who rose to make significant contributions to late-Victorian and early twentieth-century civic society. Daniel Lleufer Thomas’s activity in the field of sociological recording, however, has been little recognized in his own country let alone more widely. His contribution to two Royal Commissions in the last decade of the 19th century was seminal and led to Iorwerth Peate’s decision to study the historical domestic architecture of Wales, thus influencing directly the growth and development of vernacular architecture as a field of study within the broader field of regional ethnology.

willing to overlook this slight stretching of the concept of ‘a life in 50 objects’, the result is a fascinating and valuable study of Watt’s life, relationships, environments and ideas. In fact, the openness of the editors and contributors to explore ideas and representations of Watt is one of the book’s highlights. Far from ending at the moment of Watt’s death, a number of the essays explore the ongoing impacts of his work throughout the nineteenth century and beyond, from inspiration and patents to monuments and myths. Of particular interest is the final essay on William Bloye’s 1956 bronze statue of Boulton, Watt and Murdoch – known to most in Birmingham as the ‘Golden Boys’. In the context of active public engagement with the question of how historical individuals – and the contexts in which they operated – are made visible in public space and discourse, the concluding essays seem less an ending to the story as much as an invitation to the reader to further reflect on James Watt and his legacy. In different ways, both these books are excellent examples of the value of material culture to historical study, highlighting the depth and significance of collections and the range of stories they can tell. Whilst ‘The Black Country: A History in 100 Objects’ uses diverse objects as a way to widen the stories told about one particular place, ‘The Power to Change the World’ uses them as anchors to the people, places and things that shaped one individual’s life. As well as being valuable explorations of a place and person both so central to the West Midlands’ industrial history, they are also extremely engaging and enjoyable to read. Both books will be much appreciated by anyone with an interest in the industrial, technological and social history of the West Midlands.

ABSTRACT Seamus Heaney’s poetry is rich in detail about agricultural and food practices in his native Northern Ireland from the 1950s onwards, such as cattle-trading, butter-churning, eel-fishing, blackberry-picking or home-baking. Often studied from an ecocritical perspective, the abundance of agricultural and culinary scenes in Heaney’s work makes a gastrocritical focus on food and foodways suitable. Food has been recognized as a highly condensed social fact, and writers have long tapped into its multi-layered meanings to illuminate socio-cultural circumstances, making literature a valuable ethnographic source. A gastrocritical reading of Heaney’s work from 1966 to 2010, drawing on Rozin’s Structure of Cuisine, shows that the foodstuffs and culinary techniques featured in the poetry reflect historic and contemporary Irish cuisine and culture as explained by food-historical and folkloristic research, giving his work a particularly Irish cultural signature. In turn, Heaney’s poetic sensibilities and language craft may contribute to our verstehen of Ireland’s culinary heritage.

disappearing, the creation of the Tullie House museum (opened 1893) provided the trigger, making this a period collection in its own right today. The Milbourne collection from Cumbrian farms was added in 1946–51. This delightful little volume in A5 format is very easy to use. References in the main text link to a summary Bibliography and Notes, conveniently on facing pages. The volume concludes with a catalogue, clearly listing accession number (useful for access enquiries), object name, dimensions and provenance detail (so often lost or overlooked). The catalogue object numbering links directly to the illustrations that are grouped around processes such as drainage, harvesting, etc. or the specific equipment associated with shepherding, milking, butter and cheese-making. To conclude, there is a fearsome set of different types of animal traps. The author’s grouped illustrations are his distinctive trademark. My personal preference is for the distinctive black-and-white treatment so successfully used in earlier volumes, such as the Torquay study; but colour adds a new dimension, particularly in the recreation scenes, both perhaps best appreciated in a larger format than this volume offers. Finally, to state the obvious that this project, as with so many others in Peter Brears’ repertoire was a labour of love, achieved largely if not completely at this own expense, ‘several weeks’ having been spent in the museum stores ‘while studying and drawing the collection’. How rare is that these days? The Society’s 2019 annual conference held at Tullie House included a memorable and much appreciated presentation on this project by the author along with museum staff, reported in Folk Life Newsletter, no. 35 for Spring 2020.

ABSTRACT The perception and practice of eating out are linked to larger socioeconomic patterns. Newspaper restaurant reviews provide evidence of these trends which can be traced along a specific timeline. The early 1980s in Ireland were a difficult time for restaurants due to high taxes on food, a national recession and a lack of positive restaurant reviews. The economic upturn in the following decade contributed to unprecedented developments in the restaurant industry. Dining out became a regular activity – fuelled in part by restaurant criticism by Irish food journalists, which joined pre-existing theatre, music and book reviews as regular features in national newspapers. The restaurant scene was burgeoning as Irish society experienced a new self-confidence bolstered by the growing economy. Data from restaurant reviews published from 1988–2008 in three national newspapers reveals the Dublin-centric middle-class nature of dining reflected in critics’ reviews, alongside changes in Irish society.

ABSTRACT A study by the Irish Food Board, Bord Bia, in 2008 outlined some lost and forgotten food traditions in Ireland based on the evidence from a pre-selected expert group. This paper explores the inclusion of traditional Irish foods within seventy-nine Irish cookbooks, published between 1980 to 2015. Extant academic and grey literature on food traditions and cookbooks, together with the content of the cookbooks, identified a gradual decline in the presence of certain traditional Irish foods, to the point where they could be deemed lost or forgotten. The study, however, also finds a re-emergence in the most recent period. A notable omission in both the corpus of cookbooks, highlighting their aspirational function, and the Bord Bia report, was bacon and cabbage, a traditional dish closely associated with Ireland. This paper outlines the importance of documenting food traditions in order to pass on this knowledge to future generations.

ABSTRACT This study explores the food traditions of Imbolg or St. Brigid’s Day (1st February), one of the quarter days of the Irish calendar year, which heralds the awakening of spring. Imbolg is comparable to Christmas eve, in that celebratory potato dishes such as colcannon or ‘poundies’ and boxty are consumed. Throughout the Schools’ Collection (6,000 copybooks filled with folklore collected by over 50,000 children), a rich food history where customs, superstitions, divinations and a mixing of the pagan and Christian traditions is evident. Four main themes: ‘Dishes’, ‘Brigid’s Crosses’, ‘Biddy Boys and Brídeogs’ and ‘Brigid, miracles and religion’ were identified, which share an affinity with the extant folklore literature. However, certain nuances are also highlighted in the Schools’ Folklore Collection (SFC) revealing a rich and oftentimes neglected food culture. This paper aims to address the current lacuna within the Folklore literature concerning foodways, whilst also highlighting opportunities for further research.

ABSTRACT The interdisciplinary nature of food studies lends itself to the study of food through many avenues, most notably in this research, through folklore and the oral history transcripts of the Schools’ Collection made by the Irish Folklore Commission in 1937–1938. Folklore can give us an insight into sometimes overlooked features of society and how people’s lives can be studied and highlighted through their relationship with food. The Christmas period was an extremely important time in Irish tradition, and food was a main aspect of that celebration. This paper, therefore, at first delves into the literature surrounding Christmas, folklore, and food; diet and social class; gender, and food in rural Ireland, before comparing it with the oral history transcripts of the National Folklore Collection’s online archive, to unearth a better understanding of the relationship and the role of food in the Christmas festival in Ireland’s recent past.
