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." In essence this book traces how that change came about and explains its causes.

This is a major, collaborative study of organised military activity and its broad impact on Ireland over the last thousand years or so, from the middle of the first millennium AD to modern times. It integrates the best recent scholarship in military history into its social and political context to provide a comprehensive treatment of the Irish military experience. The eighteen chronologically-organised chapters are written by leading scholars each of whom is an authority on the period in question. Drawing the whole work together is a wide-ranging introductory essay on the 'Irish military tradition' which explores the relationship of Irish society and politics with militarism and military affairs. The text is illustrated throughout by over 120 pictures and maps.

This final volume in the Cambridge History of Ireland covers the period from the 1880s to the present. Based on the most recent and innovative scholarship and research, the many contributions from experts in their field offer detailed and fresh perspectives on key areas of Irish social, economic, religious, political, demographic, institutional and cultural history. By situating the Irish story, or stories - as for much of these decades two Irelands are in play - in a variety of contexts, Irish and Anglo-Irish, but also European, Atlantic and, latterly, global. The result is an insightful interpretation on the emergence and development of Ireland during these often turbulent decades. Copiously illustrated, with special features on images of the 'Troubles' and on Irish art and sculpture in the twentieth century, this volume will undoubtedly be hailed as a landmark publication by the most recent generation of historians of Ireland.

This authoritative, accessible and engaging four-volume history vividly presents the Irish story - or stories - from c.600 to the present, within its broader Atlantic, European, imperial and global contexts. While the volumes benefit from a strong political narrative framework, they are distinctive also in including essays that address the full range of social, economic, religious, linguistic, military, cultural, artistic and gender history, and in challenging traditional chronological boundaries in a manner that offers new perspectives and insights. Each volume examines Ireland's development within a distinct period, and offers a complete and rounded picture of Irish life, while remaining sensitive to the unique Irish experience. Bringing together an international team of experts, this landmark history both reflects recent developments in the field and sets the agenda for future study.

Ireland has rarely been out of the news during the past thirty years. Whether as a war-zone in which Catholic nationalists and Protestant Unionists struggled for supremacy, a case study in conflict resolution or an economy that for a time promised to make the Irish among the wealthiest people on the planet, the two Irelands have truly captured the world's imagination. Yet single-volume histories of Ireland are rare. Here, Thomas Bartlett, one of the country's leading historians, sets out a fascinating new history that ranges from prehistory to the present. Integrating politics, society and culture, he offers an authoritative historical road map that shows exactly how - and why - Ireland, north and south, arrived at where it is today. This is an indispensable guide to both the legacies of the past for Ireland's present and to the problems confronting north and south in the contemporary world.
