To die with honour or gain the day’
At the 2002 Hay Literary Festival, Sir Michael Holroyd, the prolific biographer, delivered a lecture outlining the development of British biographical writing, and indicating what he thought might be the key developments in the future of the genre. Such a readiness to shun or qualify empirical evidence when attempting to interpret and understand the past would be an anathema to most historians
The establishment of a statutory militia in Ireland, 1692-1716
This article examines the attempts to establish a statutory militia force in post-revolutionary Ireland, which finally came to fruition in 1716. It argues that the process tells us much about the way the Irish parliament conducted its business in this period, as well as revealing a great deal about Protestant mentalities and relationships. The Irish parliament is shown to be a fractious yet adaptable institution, in which successful business depe…
Women, marriage and property in wealthy landed families in Ireland, 1750–1850 – By Deborah Wilson
Football in Inter-war Northern Ireland
Historians have almost universally seen association football in the north of Ireland as a divisive influence. The impacts of sectarian and political tensions on the game have been stressed, alongside the extent to which this sport supposedly feeds into existing divisions. Much of the work carried out has concentrated on the last four decades, though even studies outside this period of widespread civil disorder have highlighted these problems. Thi…

Riot Acts, Popular Protest, and Protestant Mentalities in Eighteenth-Century Ireland
The condition of the Anglican elite in eighteenth-century Ireland has been the focus of some debate by historians. Members of the Protestant Ascendancy class have been variously cast as a community under constant threat, or as a self-confident group secure in their control of the country's political and economic systems. Various contributions to this dialogue have been made through the study of popular movements and civil disorder. Rather than fu…
Drink and the Professional Footballer in 1890s England and Ireland
Alcohol played many roles in the life of the late Victorian footballer. While the licensed trade and the brewing industry provided much of the initial financial backing for the professional game, the direct relationship between players and drink was more problematic. The early professional was regularly cast as a drunkard in the press, and sometimes with good reason. However this may be the result of class prejudice and the failure of the middle-…
Accounting for the early success of the Gaelic Athletic Association
Writing some years after the events he was describing, Michael Cusack, the first secretary of the Gaelic Athletic Association, suggested that in its early years the ‘Association swept the country like a prairie fire’. This is perhaps a little exaggerated, but its success was striking. Eighteen months after its foundation the G.A.A. was reckoned to have 50,000 individual members. Six months later there were around 400 affiliated clubs. The relativ…

Who invested in Victorian football clubs? The case of Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Historians have largely agreed that most of the individuals who invested money in shares in football clubs in Victorian Britain were middle-class. However, they have also been at pains to point out that the skilled working classes also provided a not insignificant number of investors. Drawing on the 1891 census returns, this article suggests that working-class contributions have, in fact, been overestimated. The article also demonstrates that sha…

The trials of James Cotter and Henry, Baron Barry of Santry
At least twice during the first half of the eighteenth century criminal prosecutions were undertaken in Ireland which gripped the public imagination. The first of these celebrated cases, involving the trial for rape, conviction and subsequent execution of the Cork Jacobite James Cotter in 1720, has also come to hold an extraordinary fascination for historians of eighteenth-century Ireland. Few writers concerned with early Georgian Ireland have be…
Local Elite Creation in Early Hanoverian Ireland
The years immediately after the Glorious Revolution saw the Irish parliament establish itself as an active legislative body. Local government in the country then received something of a fillip, both through legislative action in Dublin, and by reason of the extended period of social and political stability that followed the end of Queen Anne's reign. This essay seeks to outline the responsibilities and functions of the grand jury in Ireland, and …

How violent was eighteenth-century Ireland
In his recent book dealing with the history of duelling in Ireland, James Kelly comes to the conclusion that eighteenth-century Ireland was essentially ‘a violent society’, peopled at least in part ‘by wilful men who put their individual reputations above their lives, their families, their religion, and the law’. Such comments seem to continue a well-established tradition of interpretation that goes back to the nineteenth century. However, this i…
