Oscar's Shadow
Oscar Wilde is undoubtedly Ireland’s most famous gay son; the difficulty regarding his reputation and legacy in the country of his birth was that for decades he was also Ireland’s most notorious gay man. In this book, Eibhear Walshe begins by pointing out that, while Wilde’s public persona and fate informed the cultural concept of the homosexual in Britain, there has been little sustained examination of cultural perceptions of his sexuality in Ir…
De Valera’s Ireland, 1932–58
Following defeat in the civil war of 1922–23, Irish republicans formed a new political party, Fianna Fáil, in 1926. By 1932, Fianna Fáil, under the leadership of Eamon de Valera, achieved power and remained in office from 1932 to1948 and from 1957 to 1973, being temporarily replaced by coalition governments between 1948–51 and 1954–57. De Valera remained leader of the party until 1959. This article assesses the impact of Fianna Fáil’s domination …

The Transformation of Ireland
A ground-breaking history of the twentieth century in Ireland, written on the most ambitious scale by a brilliant young historian. It is significant that it begins in 1900 and ends in 2000 - most accounts have begun in 1912 or 1922 and largely ignored the end of the century. Politics and political parties are examined in detail but high politics does not dominate the book, which rather sets out to answer the question: 'What was it like to grow up…
