Before the Troubles carved their divisions into the landscape, Ulster stood as a province of quiet grandeur, rugged coastlines, and a city of Belfast humming with industrial pride — and Richard Hayward's vivid portrait captures all of it in magnificent detail. Part travelogue, part cultural chronicle, this volume presents the province of Ulster through the eyes of one of Ireland's most celebrated writers and broadcasters, guiding the reader through ancient landscapes, historic towns, and the vibrant streets of Belfast with the warmth and authority of a seasoned guide. Hayward's prose style is richly descriptive yet accessible, grounding grand historical narrative in the texture of everyday Irish life, from the drumlin-scattered countryside of County Fermanagh to the shipyard cranes looming over the Belfast Lough. As part of his acclaimed This is Ireland series published by Arthur Barker Ltd., this work stands as an invaluable document of mid-twentieth-century Ulster — a time capsule of a place poised between its storied past and an uncertain future. For anyone drawn to the lore, landscape, and layered history of the north of Ireland, this is an essential and deeply rewarding read.
