Over the last 350 years, Ireland has sent a constant stream ofemigrants to North America. Estimates range from six to ten million. Eachemigrant spoke English, Irish, or Ulster Scots. Many indeed used two ofthese tongues. One of the most formative chapters in this fascinating story is the often-overlooked arrival of perhaps 200,000 people from Ulsterin the colonial era, specifically in the sixty years before the American Revolution. This book recounts the lasting impact they made on the development of the,English language of the United States from the eighteenth century to the present day. It documents nearly four hundred terms and meanings, each with quotations from both sides of the Atlantic, that were contributed to American Englishby these eighteenth-century settlers from Ulster. Drawing on letters theysent back to their homeland and on other archival documents associated with their settlement, including local fiction and poetry, it shows that Ulster emigrants and their children, who settled mainly in the American interior,gave as much to regional American English as any other group from the Old World. Its pages contain many pleasant surprises: readers will find terms both instantly recognisable and unfamiliar. The numerous quotations not only bring alive the speech of earlier days on both sides of the Atlantic but also extend our understanding of the culture, mannerisms and life of those pioneering times and, through the spoken and written word, poignantly link the past with the present.

The study of pastoral care in the Middle Ages has seen a resurgence in recent years. Scholars are making an effort to understand the significant role pastors (secular and religious) had in the shaping of medieval society at large and so from several angles: theology, preaching, catechesis, and the analysis of many other useful sources such as confessional literature, Episcopal visitation records, monastic cartularies and the like. This work has helped eliminate or refine certain clich s about the medieval pastor, modern and medieval, as the bumbling parson who can barely make his way through the Sunday Mass. 17 scholars from North America and Europe present new scholarship in the field of medieval pastoral care, showing the many ways in which pastoral care came to play such an important role in the day to day lives of medieval people, whether through the regular preaching of sermons, or through the confessional, or with regard to the pastoral care of monks and nuns and even the pastoral care of the clergy. And it aims to encourage the continued expansion of this field.
