Urban rebels in medieval Connacht
The topic of urban revolt in medieval Ireland has been overlooked by wider scholarship. This article offers the first detailed analysis of a revolt which occurred in Galway in the late fourteenth century. The basis of this study is a twentieth-century transcription made of an extract from a plea roll of the king’s bench in Ireland before the latter’s destruction in 1922, which records the judicial proceedings taken against one of the town’s rebel…
Gay and Lesbian Activism in the Republic of Ireland, 1973–93
This thematically-arranged study traces the emergence of visible gay and lesbian communities across the Republic of Ireland and their impact on public perceptions of homosexuality. Along the way it explores the critical and hidden activism of lesbian women, the role of rural provincial activists, the importance of interactions with international gay and lesbian organisations and the extent to which HIV and AIDS impacted the gay rights campaign. G…
Abortion, Gay Rights, and the National Gay Federation in Ireland, 1982–1983
In the period between 2015 and 2018, the Republic of Ireland held two seminal referendums: the 2015 same-sex marriage referendum and the 2018 referendum on repealing the Eighth Amendment, which had placed a constitutional ban on abortion in 1983. Both referendums, which passed by large majorities, signaled the dramatic transformation that had taken place in the Republic of Ireland in the preceding years, allowing the country to leave behind the i…
Homosexuality is not a problem - it doesn't do you any harm and can be lots of fun
Using primary archival material, this article explores the role of students and universities in the campaign for gay rights in Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s. At a time when few organisations in Ireland involved themselves in the campaign for gay rights, student bodies facilitated the promotion of gay rights, interaction between gay rights organisations and students and challenged the legal and societal attitudes towards homosexuality in Ireland.…
The Mute's Voice
The Mute's Voice:The Dramatic Transformations of the Mute and Deaf-Mute in Early-Nineteenth-Century France Patrick McDonagh (bio) What does the mute have to tell us? In France at the end of the eighteenth and the start of the nineteenth centuries, this question propelled some important early melodramas, including Guilbert de Pixérécourt's Cœlina ou l'Enfant du mystère (Coelina, or the child of mystery) (1800) and Jean- Nicolas Bouilly's L'Abbé de…

Barnaby Rudge , ‘idiocy’ and paternalism
Histories of the idea of ‘intellectual disability’ and its genealogically related concepts such as ‘idiocy’ rarely consider cultural representations as historical evidence. However, this form of evidence can present another aspect to our attempts to reconstruct the historical image of ‘idiocy’. Charles Dickens’ novel Barnaby Rudge, with its ‘idiot’ protagonist, uses the image to engage with Chartism and debates over paternalism in the early Victo…
