Freud in Dublin? The Formation of Psychoanalysis in Ireland, c.1928–1993
Samuel Beckett's father, William, died of a heart attack, and during the following months, the 27-year-old writer began to suffer from panic attacks and depression.By the end of the year he was experiencing a range of physical problems including cysts and boils that did not respond to medication, and he woke frequently in the night with a pounding heart and drenched in sweat, an experience so disturbing that he was only able to sleep if his broth…
Land purchase and radicalisation in county Galway, c. 1881–1931
Land purchase in Ireland is often regarded by historians as resulting in the pacification and de-politicisation of formerly unsettled local communities. This conclusion may be premature given that we do not yet know the details of how land purchase was actually implemented at the local level, and why, and with what consequences. By exploring the way in which land purchase was conducted in a single community, this article suggests that the United …
Killing time” in rural Ireland, c .1881–2013
This article explores the way in which episodes that took place during the “long” land war of 1879–1909 have been remembered or forgotten in Craughwell, Co. Galway, between 1881 and 2013. By exploring those episodes and individuals that are remembered locally in monuments, published oral histories and in oral histories conducted by the author, this article explores the complex patterns of remembering in rural Irish communities. The article conclu…
Land questions in modern Ireland
In historical accounts of Ireland in which the political is defined purely in terms of that which directly affects the state, and historical change is believed to be powered by these narrowly defined political forces, women, who were for the most part excluded from formal male political culture, tend to be assigned a marginal role. State-centred histories, in other words, are invariably patriarchal histories. One of the means employed to countera…
Administration
This chapter examines the changing social composition of the senior civil servants in Ireland between 1891 and 1911. Allegations were made that Catholics were under‐represented in the civil service because they had few educational opportunities but this chapter demonstrates that there were a considerable number of university‐educated Catholics in Ireland by the beginning of the twentieth century many of whom had difficulty taking their place in s…
Politics
This chapter examines the social composition of the main political parties in Ireland in 1881 and 1911. There was a clear ‘greening’ of the political representation during the period under review. However, it is evident that as nationalist politics became more green, unionist politics became more orange. It is also clear that whereas Conservative and Unionist representatives were often recruited from prosperous business and landed backgrounds, Ho…
Land
Landlords dominated Irish society during the nineteenth century but during the period reviewed in this book their power was in serious decline. This chapter looks at the composition of the great Irish landowner class (those landlords who owned estates of more than 10,000 acres), and considers to what extent the composition of this elite group changed between 1881 and 1918. The chapter also examines the reasons why the Irish landlord class decline…
Business
This chapter examines the composition of the business elite in Ireland between 1883 and 1911 and finds that Catholics were extremely under‐represented in terms of their numbers in the population. The chapter then considers why this was the case and engages with the Weber–Tawney debate that suggested that Catholics had less business acumen than Protestants. This hypothesis is refuted and the extent to which the social networks from which the busin…
Conclusion
This chapter summarizes the main conclusions that arise from the data in the book particularly regarding the debate as to whether there was a ‘greening’ of the Irish establishment between 1879 and 1914. The colonial context is presented as one of the key factors in retarding ‘greening’. And the possibility that the ‘greening’ policy contained the seeds of its own destruction—by creating a unionist reaction—is also considered. Finally, the conclus…
Religion
This chapter begins by discussing the shifting power of the Catholic and Protestant churches during the post‐Famine period and shows that Catholic power over the state and nationalist politics was greatly increasing while Protestant power and influence over the state was in serious decline. The chapter then looks at the social background of Catholic bishops, Church of Ireland bishops and Presbyterian Moderators and finds that the Church of Irelan…
Policing
This chapter considers the recent literature on the question of policing in Ireland and particularly that presented in work by William Lowe and Elizabeth Malcolm. Broadly speaking, Lowe suggests that the Irish police officers were becoming more representative of the Irish population in terms of their composition while Malcolm suggests that the officers tended to be less so. The evidence presented in this chapter leans more towards Malcolm's hypot…
The social composition of the senior officers of the Royal Irish Constabulary, 1881–1911
In an influential article, William Lowe and Elizabeth Malcolm have argued that the Royal Irish Constabulary (R.I.C.) became ‘domesticated’ between its formation in 1836 and its disbandment in 1922: [I]t was naturalised by becoming in its composition more truly representative of the Irish population; it was attached to home as its duties became more routine, more akin to housekeeping than to peace-keeping; and it was tamed because its ability to u…
The Irish Establishment 1879-1914
The Irish establishment examines who the most powerful men and women were in Ireland between the Land War (1879–81) and the beginning of the Great War, and considers how and why the composition of the Irish establishment changed during this period. Although enormous shifts in economic and political power were taking place at the middle levels of Irish society, this book demonstrates that the Irish establishment remained remarkably static and unch…
Who Ruled Ireland? The Irish Administration, 1879–1914
In an influential monograph, The greening of Dublin Castle (1991), Lawrence McBride argued that the Irish administration was in a rapid state of transformation between 1892 and 1922. Broadly speaking, he argued that the Protestant and unionist senior administrators were gradually replaced by Catholic and nationalist civil servants during this period. However, a significant body of evidence suggests that McBride may have overstated the changes tak…
Popular Politics and the Making of the Wyndham Land Act, 1900–1903
George Wyndham was firmly committed to introducing a substantial reform of the land question when he became Chief Secretary in November 1900. Although Wyndham had, by the spring of 1902, devised a sophisticated Irish policy, the Lord Lieutenant succeeded in implementing a policy in 1902 which was little more than a hand-to-mouth strategy: the proclamation of sixteen Irish counties and four county boroughs under the Crimes Act. Wyndham's failure t…
The Ranch War and Irish Nationalist Politics, 1904–1910
The ‘Western Problem’
This chapter describes the social and economic circumstances in which the people of the west of Ireland lived in the 1890s. The essence of the western problem was the juxtaposition of vast tracts of untenanted grazing land, occupied by landlords and graziers, next to the plots of impoverished small farmers, with insufficient land to provide them with a reasonable standard of living. The transformation of the agricultural economy in the decades fo…
The Evolution of Sinn Féin
This chapter explores the evolution of separatist politics in county Galway, from the formation of Sinn Féin in 1905, to its electoral victory in December 1918, and includes the first detailed narrative account of the 1916 Easter Rising in Galway. The small Sinn Féin party, first established in Galway in 1906, had become the largest and most influential political organization in the county by 1918; the most prominent leader of Sinn Féin in Galway…
Conclusion
Between 1879 and 1923, Ireland experienced two revolutions. The first — beginning with the Land War in 1879 and, arguably, not ending until 1984 when the Land Commission suspended its activities — constituted a social revolution. The second — beginning in 1916 and ending in 1923 — was a political revolution, involving the transfer of state power from one elite to another. This book examines the critical phase of the first revolution — that of the…
Land and Revolution in the West of Ireland, 1918–1921
Recently, a debate has begun among Irish historians as to the nature of the Irish revolution, and Peter Hart has provided a useful definition of what is meant by the term the ‘Irish revolution’. Hart suggests that the Irish revolution was a period during which two distinct blocs made competing claims to the state (beginning with the Easter Rising), resulting in a period of multiple sovereignty which was only concluded in May 1923, when the anti-T…

Irish Popular Politics and the Making of the Wyndham Land Act, 1901–1903
The Wyndham Land Act was the most important land reform introduced by any British government during the period of the Act of Union (1801–1922); and this article provides a new interpretation of the origins of this revolutionary legislation. Whereas previous accounts attribute the Act to the initiative of the Irish chief secretary, George Wyndham, this article locates the legislation in the wider context of both popular and ‘high’ politics. The st…
