The number of people taking Irish Studies courses has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Until now, however, there has been no basic introductory textbook which would enable students coming to the subject for the first time to familiarize themselves with its essential elements. This book is for them. The basic approach is historical. Starting with a geographer's account of landscape and habitat, there follows a series of essays surveying Ireland from the middle ages to the mid-nineteenth century through the eyes of historians, linguists and literary critics. The cultural tension between the Anglo-Irish world and the declining Gaelic world is constantly kept in view. Both the cultural and political revivals of the early twentieth century are dealt with and the concluding essays deal with the structures and culture of modern Ireland.This book is an essential reading for everyone interested in an up-to-date account of Irish history, literature, society and culture.Contents: Introduction: What is Irish Studies?; Ireland: Habitat, Culture and Personality,^R Mary Cawley; The Legacy of the Middle Ages GearÛid MacNiocaill; Gaelic Culture in Crisis: The Literary Response 1600-1850, Se·n ^D'O Tuama; 'What Ish My Nation?': Themes in Irish History 1550-1850, Thomas Bartlett; Emigration and Exile, Chris Curtin, Riana O'Dwyer, GearÛid ^D'O Tuathaigh; The Irish Tradition and Nineteenth-Century Fiction: A Review, Patrick Sheeran; Writing in Gaelic since 1880, Noel McGonagle; Translation and Transition: Writing in English 1700-1900, Riana O'Dwyer; From United Kingdom to Divided Island: Aspects of the Irish Experience 1850-1922, GearÛid ^D'O Tuathaigh; Politics and Society in Post-Independence Ireland, Tom Boylan, Chris Curtin, Liam O'Dowd; Twentieth-Century Irish Literature, Gerald Dawe, D.E.S.

This is a survey of the origins and development of the Catholic Question in 18th and early 19th century Ireland. One of the Beresford family remarked in 1820: "When I was a boy the 'Irish People' meant the Protestants, now it means the Roman Catholics."

Ireland: A History

Cambridge University Press

This text traces the origins of Irish republicanism in the American and French revolutions. It then deals with the development of the United Irish and Defender movements in the 1790s, the foundation of the Orange Order in 1795, the abortive French landing of 1796 and the government repression that followed. The events of 1798 are central to the book. There were risings in Leinster and east Ulster and a small French landing in Connacht which was quickly defeated. In all, as many as 30,000 people may have died. The rising was a seminal event in the development of Irish nationalism. This book is published to coincide with the bicentennary anniversary of the 1798 rising.
