Blue chippers from the Emerald Isle: A history of Irish footballers and scholarships in the USA in the twentieth century
Diffusion and division: A spatial analysis of surrogacy policy determinants in the United States
This study demonstrates that a combination of religiosity, racial composition, and spatial proximity to like-minded states shapes state-level surrogacy policy in the United States. Higher religious adherence is linked to more restrictive policies, while a greater proportion of White residents correlates with increased permissiveness when broader structural factors are considered. The findings underscore the importance of accounting for sociopolit…
Introduction: Sport in Ireland from the 1880s to the 1920s
The study of sport in Ireland in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has – to risk a cliche from the sports world itself – progressed in leaps and bounds in recent decades. The period
Cycle camping in Victorian and Edwardian Ireland
One of the most important aspects of cycling’s impact on Ireland in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods is that it made recreational trips to the countryside easier for the urban middle class and better-off workers who could afford to buy bicycles. As this article shows, many Irish and other cyclists in this period combined their love of cycling and the countryside with camping trips. Cycle camping appealed to enthusiasts for a number of rea…
Cycling: A Canterbury pilgrimage/an Italian pilgrimage
Elizabeth Robins Pennell and Joseph Pennell, a married couple from Philadelphia, at first sight might appear to be unlikely authors to feature in a journal dedicated to the history of sport. As Dav
The More Sport the Merrier, Say We’: Sport in Ireland during the Great Famine
Scholars have made considerable progress in recent years in researching the history of sport in Ireland, yet there are still important areas that have not received scholarly attention. One of these is the topic of sport during the Great Famine. A close perusal of contemporary newspapers reveals that large numbers of Irish people, from all social groups, continued to enjoy sports, either as participants or as spectators, during the Famine years. H…
The tourist gaze: Cycling tourists' impressions of Victorian and Edwardian Ireland
Cyclists' written records of their Irish tours in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been overlooked by those scholars who have studied travellers' impressions of Ireland in this period. The tricycle and the bicycle opened Ireland to a new form of tourism in the form of cycling tourism, and many of these holidaymakers, both Irish and foreign, were keen to record their experiences and impressions awheel, either in the cycling p…

A most diabolical deed: Infanticide and Irish society, 1850–1900
Elaine Farrell's book is a very important addition to the growing literature on Irish women's history in the modern period. While focusing on what, at first glance, may seem the most secret of crim
Human encumbrances: Political violence and the Great Irish Famine
All colours of the rainbow, including black and gold: Making and selling bicycles in Ireland in the 1880s and 1890s
In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, cycling in Ireland progressed from being a relatively exclusive pursuit, confined mainly to young, middleclass men, to a popular sport and pastime which appealed alike to young, middleaged and elderly members of the middle class, including large numbers of women. At the beginning of the 1880s, most Irish cyclists were young men who rode the high-wheeled ‘Ordinary’ or ‘Penny-farthing’ machine. The…
AMY Milne-SMITH. London Clubland: A Cultural History of Gender and Class in Late Victorian Britain
Amy Milne-Smith's book on gentlemen's clubs in late Victorian London is a useful addition to the literature on British elites. The governing class in Britain was not a narrowly aristocratic caste but a broader coalition of the well-educated and propertied, and it was in institutions like these clubs that aristocrats, leading professionals, and businessmen forged a sense of corporate identity as “gentlemen.” In this way, consciousness of class too…
The Romance of the Wheel: Cycling, Fiction and Late Nineteenth-century Ireland
The subject of the Irish sporting press in the nineteenth century is one of the many under-researched subjects in the field of Irish sports history. This paper offers an examination of a distinctive strand in the output of Ireland's leading Victorian cycling newspaper, that of fictional short stories and sketches. An exploration of the Irish Cyclist's use of such material demonstrates how these writings were used by the editor, Richard James Mecr…

Psychological aspects of chronic tonic and clonic stuttering: Suggested therapeutic approaches
A comparison of the personality profiles and intellectual functioning of 12 tonic and 18 clonic stutterers indicated that the groups could be discriminated on measures of verbal IQ, object relations, social isolation, somatization, and cognitive processing. Findings are examined in terms of the impact of type of functioning on maintenance of stuttering, and implications for treatment are discussed

Linking level of care to level of need: Assessing the need for mental health care for nursing home residents
What are the mental health status and active treatment needs of nursing home residents? A stratified random sample of 828 residents in 25 facilities serving Medicaid recipients was assessed for levels of physical and psychosocial functioning. Although 91.2% had sufficiently high levels of medical and physical care needs to justify nursing home placement, 79.6% also had moderate to intense needs for mental health care. Older residents, relative to…
