One of his Dubliners stories, 'Ivy Day at the Committee Room' captures the political tensions that swirled around early 20th century Dublin. The story is set in an office belonging to the Irish parliamentary party at election time.
The early 20th century was a time of political renewal in Ireland. The Irish Parliamentary Party, which had split into two rival factions in 1891, had been reunited in 1900. Its aim was to press for Home Rule for Ireland, rather than outright independence. More radical political movements were on the rise, threatening the predominance of the Irish Party.

I can only speak to the blues really. If you take a prewar blues song individually, you might not learn a whole lot. However, in context of its entire catalogue, it teaches you an untold history of the early 20th century black American south. Everything from floods, diseases and lynchings to parties and love stories. The blues gives people a spoonful of stoicism to remedy their struggles in life. Allows them to fetishize hard times and pervert the good times.
But again, from limitation comes innovation. Other people had done such a thing before, but Dee Dee Chandler was perhaps one of the first drummers to use a makeshift pedal to play the bass drum with his foot while playing snare with his hands. Before that you would have to have a different musician play each instrument or use a style called "double drumming," which involved playing bass drum and snare drum simultaneously with both hands and no feet, limiting the kind of rhythms you could express on the snare. The weird contraption that allowed Chandler to play the bass drum with his foot was not smooth like today's pedals and must have been a challenge to play. But it was a point on the evolution of the drum set as a more dynamic instrument that, in just a few decades, would become the lynchpin of jazz ensembles, whose rhythmic playfulness created some of the best music of the century. And it was the music created in those poorer places, with audiences innovating new dance steps like swing, that made jazz music so alive.

The story: The development of the term punk as a musical term is that old story of people taking an insult and wearing it as a badge of triumph. The word is centuries old - William Shakespeare referred to a high class prostitute as a "taffety punk" in All's Well That Ends Well, written in 1604 - and the connotations of the word have continued to be less than flattering ever since. In the 17th century it meant rotten wood, in the 19th century it meant worthless or inferior. By the early 20th century a punk was considered a lower class of human, even in the criminal underworld. The word referred to inexperience or weakness or a lack of moral fibre, or hinted at homosexuality, but strictly as an insult.
i am in my hysterical 20th-century woman era, i would think, unlikeably. i am sleeping at erratic hours, i am sobbing, i am writing and never publishing, i am seeing shapes in my wallpaper. i am never washing my face, i am eating lavishly, i am ruining my reputation. i am making sure to eat a square of dark chocolate during my depressive episodes so they\u2019ll sound sexy in my memoirs. even when i am ostensibly at my lowest, i am still filtering my experiences through the eyes of a consumer; the desire to editorialize our own experiences (to romanticize the unseen, to live for our biographies) has become an autonomic facet of womanhood as unavoidable as breathing.
Based on Rodgers and Hart's revised 1943 version of their earlier Broadway musical hit, a 20th century Connecticut man suffers a head injury and is magically transported back to King Arthur's Camelot where he uses his modern know-how to defeat Morgan Le Fay's villainous intentions.
Good ideas, however, have a way of resisting attempts to quash them. Bad ideas sooner or later fail and teach a valuable lesson or two in the process. Britain and most of the world gave socialism in all its varieties one hell of a run in the 20th century. The disastrous results now widely acknowledged underscore the warnings of those who said that we could depart from liberty and property only at our peril.
