Law and Constitutional Change
A collection of some of the best papers presented at the 25th British Legal History Conference at Queen's University Belfast in July 2022, Law and Constitutional Change examines the role that law plays when countries experience a major constitutional upheaval. It examines the interaction of law and politics in history across different legal jurisdictions with different legal traditions. The theme of the conference was 'Law and Constitutional Chan…
The ‘Inverness Formula’
On 7 September 1921 a meeting of the United Kingdom’s Cabinet took place outside London for the first time. Besides being remarkable for that reason, the session at Inverness in Scotland was also significant for the future of relationships between Britain and Ireland. Prime Minister Lloyd George was at the height of his career and convened it largely in an effort to advance negotiations with the Irish. He hoped that a peace conference might begin…
A Man Who Has Both Arms’
Arthur Griffith founded Sinn Féin. From 1899 onwards, through detailed articles in his weekly papers and otherwise, he strongly advocated the economic development of Ireland and the adoption of qualified protectionism to achieve it. As minister for foreign affairs in the revolutionary government of Ireland in 1921, he chaired the Irish delegation that negotiated with Lloyd George's government articles of agreement for an Anglo-Irish Treaty. In Ja…

A fateful weekend in 1921
This article highlights the stressful logistics of final negotiations for the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, a treaty that both ended the Irish war of independence (1919–21) and authorized the creation of the Irish Free State (1922). The treaty also confirmed a new international border which is still problematic today (not least in respect to the United Kingdom's decision to exit the European Union). Caught between dissidents in Dublin and experienc…
The Power of Silence
This book demonstrates that silence is eloquent, powerful, beautiful and even dangerous. It surrounds and permeates our daily lives. Drawing on a wide range of cross-cultural, literary and historical sources, the author explores the uses and abuses of silence. He explains how silence is not associated with solitude alone but has a much broader value within society.The main themes of The Power of Silence are positive and negative uses of silence, …
Scissors and Paste
This article examines how Arthur Griffith, arguably the most significant political journalist in Ireland during the first two decades of the twentieth century, tried to circumvent United Kingdom government censorship at the outset of World War I. It recalls that Griffith, ‘father’ or founder of Sinn Féin, edited and substantially wrote a succession of publications that frequently annoyed the authorities, which had already suppressed two of his ti…
Nothing could be more pernicious’
This article concerns the only session of the Irish parliament during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries at which most members shared the Roman Catholic religion of the majority of Irish people. It explores for the first time the significance of that parliament’s meeting in 1689 at an inn of court, a location at which members never before or afterwards convened, and highlights in this context the leading role of judges and senior law office…
James Larkin and the Jew's Shilling
The relationship of Irish radicals and socialists to Jews in the decades before Irish independence was an ambivalent one. Neither political activists nor trade union leaders were immune to infection by anti-Semitic tropes. An influx of poor Jewish immigrants to Ireland around the end of the nineteenth century threatened the identity of Irish nationalists and workers, at a time when many Irish were forced by economic circumstances to emigrate. The…
Sinn Féin, socialists and “McSheeneys”
During the decades immediately prior to the creation of an independent Irish state in 1922, nationalists and socialists in Ireland struggled to reconcile their progressive principles with challenges posed by the arrival of an increasing number of Jewish immigrants. This article examines how at that time the press, both mainstream and agitational, occasionally gave public expression to anti-Semitic prejudices, stereotypes and outright hostility. S…
Imaginative Decoration
This article traces the fate of Peregrine Acland (1891–1963), who wrote a critically acclaimed novel based partly on his personal experiences as a Canadian hero of the First World War. He was inspired by George Bernard Shaw, whom he sought out while on military service in England. Documents recently discovered in the advertising archives of Duke University and entries in the diaries of Canada’s longest-serving prime minister, William Lyon Mackenz…
Finding a voice or fitting in? Migrants and media in the new Ireland
Súil Eile
This paper examines, in their social context, the origins and history of TG4. It notes that TG4 broadcasts mainly but by no means exclusively in the Irish language, being one of the Republic of Ireland's four national terrestrial television services and one of three operated under the umbrella of the state-owned RTE. The paper focuses on the purposes and functions of TG4 and analyses the cultural assumptions that lie behind it. It considers the d…

The exclusion of catholics from the legal profession in Ireland, 1537-1829
Between the Reformation and catholic emancipation a succession of statutory and other provisions was framed by the authorities in Dublin and London with the intention of enforcing religious conformity Persons who refused to conform were rendered liable to various disabilities and penalties of a severe nature. Discrimination became widespread in the first half of the eighteenth century with what were collectively known as the penal laws. These con…
